Verdict
Recent winning form is thin on the ground in this contest with only KOO AND THE GANG managing to get his head in front so far this year. He scored over a mile here last week and, given he likes to race up with the pace, this drop back in trip should be no problem and he's taken to defy a penalty. Gold Story, Elusive Warrior and Meydan Style look the most likely candidates to fill the places with the remainder all struggling for form.
