CALDERCRUIX scored over 7f here before finishing only a length behind Dubai Hills in a much stronger race over track and trip last Saturday. He'll take the beating if running up to the same level in this. Kung Hei Fat Choy looks the chief threat off his current mark given he's a dual course and distance winner and ran well at Doncaster last Friday. Both Flying Pickets and Caledonia Prince have a bit to find with the selection on recent running but the latter has the beating of Our Ivor and the enigmatic Copperwood on earlier form at this track.
