Verdict

WELD AL EMARAT hasn’t run here since making a winning debut in 2014 but this looks an excellent opportunity for Mick Easterby’s charge to pick up a second career victory as he looks to have the plum draw and is on a very lenient mark. Gilded Heaven is thoroughly unexposed and returned from a break to make a winning all-weather debut at Newcastle so rates a danger. Veteran Showboating handles the surface and is another to consider while a case can be made for Toofi on these terms, though he enters unknown territory over this extra furlong. The longer trip is also a concern for The Right Choice.
