Verdict

This lot should leave scorch-marks and there's a huge variety of different formlines. Amber Sky just held on from Ahtoug a year ago and looks to have been trained specifically for the race again. He's finished behind compatriots PENIAPHOBIA and Bundle Of Joy in Hong Kong this winter but this looks a question of which one gets to the front first. The former, who did so well as a juvenile for Richard Fahey, has proved a real money-spinner for Tony Cruz though he and Bundle Of Joy are very closely matched. Sole Power had a fantastic summer in the UK but his standards have slipped since he won the Nunthorpe and he was beaten in this last year. David Simcock's Caspar Netscher and the South African Group 1 winner Via Africa will be different propositions from the horses beaten behind Sir Maximilian three weeks ago while Wesley Ward knows exactly what it takes to land major sprints so Green Mask has to be respected. Farmah landed a Group 3 in Italy by six lengths but that was on very heavy ground.
