Verdict

Plenty of these arrive in top form including the former USA-trained Twelfthofneverland, who came with a late run to catch Karnavaal over 1m2f two weeks ago with Secret Trade a length away in third after staying on. Gervais has been in fine form all winter and a 5lb rise for beating Shanty Star over 7f looks manageable. CELTIC PRINCE has run here three times and won the last two. He was always in the firing-line over the track and trip a fortnight ago and quickened impressively to beat Rich And Famous so looks the one to beat with just 3lb extra. Habah has raced in stronger company and her victory at Jebel Ali last month after a long break puts her in the frame but Karaginsky's best form has been at Jebel Ali.
