All of the leading contenders are returning from lay-offs. Emirates Flyer hasn't raced since finishing a creditable third in the UAE Derby in March and it was the same month when the other Godolphin runner, Dragon Falls, last competed. But the veteran PREMIO LOCO goes well fresh and was good enough to win a conditions race at Newmarket last term. Chris Wall's charge has the edge on Solar Deity on today's terms so gets the vote. Energia Eros has shown nothing so far in this country and is penalised for last year's Group 3 win in Brazil and the remainder have a bit to find at the weights.
