    Verdict

    Richard Fahey has already tasted success at the Carnival with Gabrial, who had earlier finished runner-up to MUSHREQ here with his stablemate Tales Of Grimm beaten 4l. The winner, who won twice here last year including a Group 2, is the top-rated and should continue his winning ways. Trade Storm was also in tremendous form here a year ago winning twice including at Group 2 level so he has to be a threat. Brendan Bracken was conceding Shuruq 5lb when beaten less than a length three weeks ago so a big run from the winner earlier will point to his chances. Steeler also ran in Shuruq's race and performed with credit as it was his first start since finishing third in the 2012 Racing Post Trophy. Maputo has joined Godolphin after doing well for Mark Johnston for who he won six times including a Group 3 in Ireland. Mujaarib is a regular performer at the highest level in South Africa and the Group 2 winner will be ready for this despite a long absence while Tasady, a Group 2 winner in France for Andre Fabre, has to be considered despite her liking for soft ground.
