Anissati, Degree of Honor and Bint Il Sultan look the three to concentrate on in this contest with the vote going to Anissati. The selection won well last time out when beating Blushing Russian and although he has a penalty for that win the first two were well clear of the third and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Degree Of Honour rates the main danger on his latest second behind Mad Maurice but he just gave the impression he would be suited by a longer trip on that occasion and for that reason he is opposed. Bint Il Sultan is another worthy of respect on his best form but he has disappointed of late so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Shekan Star showed improved form to be second behind Hiawatha last time but this looks more competitive and for the winner we return to Anissati who won well last time out.
