Plenty of these have form at the track including TWO MOONS, who had Pabusar well behind when scoring over course and distance last time. That looks the best recent form on offer and Tony Coyle's charge can go in again. Khajaaly is 6lb higher than when winning here in March and third-placed Imaginary World is weighted to turn the tables. This is tougher than the race won by Welliesinthewater over track and trip last time, but Al Khan has tumbled down the weights this year and scored off a 5lb higher mark here last season. The Great Gabrial could also figure returning to the track for the first time since January's success.
