        Verdict

        A number of these are attempting the step up from handicaps to Listed class, including the rejuvenated Magic City, Correspondent and Enrol, but Free Wheeling and Well Acquainted are already winners at this level and Arnold Lane won a Group 3 in Germany in the spring. Firebeam will love the ground and is certainly worth a second look but Fort Bastion bounced Tony Hamilton out of the saddle on leaving the stalls at York last time and still has plenty to prove. TAWHID may not be entirely straightforward but cheekpieces are tried here and he didn't do a lot wrong when fourth in a Group 3 at Haydock last time. A winner here on heavy ground as a juvenile, he looks the one to beat given that Saeed bin Suroor has trained the winner of this three times in the last four years.
