      Verdict

      Breden and Beringer dead-heated for third in the Lincoln at Doncaster last month but the latter will be sharper for that and is expected to come out best of that pair today. Saeed bin Suroor trained the Lincoln winner so should have a good line on the chances of BEDOUIN’S STORY. Without a win in tougher handicaps than this at Meydan earlier in the year despite running well, he’s fancied to run a big race now back in this country. Exhort is capable at this level though drops back down in trip on her return along with Protected Guest so Sawwaah is preferred having scored over track and trip in September. Power of Darkness has been gelded and undergone wind surgery since landing a double at Salisbury last summer and makes more appeal than Thrave.
