        Verdict

        Godolphin complicate matters by running both Curzon Line and Mizwaaj. There's not between them on official figures though the latter has the strongest piece of form with a second behind Ektihaam, who has since won again. However, SHOLAAN's second at Newcastle in September was also a decent effort and he's the speculative selection in a open race. The newcomer Standing Strong is worth a second look as he's a brother to a winner in Japan and makes more appeal than fellow debutants Dutch Supreme and Pass The Time.
