Verdict

WITHERING (NAP) was conceding a stone to the in-form Al Nayyir over the trip on Turf a couple of weeks ago, leading in the straight and only headed in the closing stages. He's just as effective on Dirt and will be difficult to beat. Quality Humor scored over 7f at Jebel Ali and stayed on well over a mile here a fortnight ago while Franz Strauss, a winner at Newcastle for the Gosdens, looks best of his stable's trio with Tadhg O'Shea on board. Book Review has won three times here though all at a lower level.
