        Verdict

        EHTIRAAS stands out in this on his narrow-margin defeat over 7f here in September. He was only beaten a short-head by subsequent Group 3 winner Crazy Horse and the third-placed horse has also won since. Torch should go well with a placed effort at Goodwood under his belt but Generalship and Western Prince ran much better on their respective debuts than they did last time. Diamond Geyser, Warrior Prince and Sautter should finish closer and Huge Future and Khairaat are newcomers to note.
