        Verdict

        Desert Gulf made a winning start over 6f here last year and has been gelded since last in action. STYLISH PERFORMER has the more recent form arriving on the back of last month’s course and distance success and is taken to defy a penalty as the beaten favourite that day has subsequently won. Mejthaam makes most appeal of the rest with experience while the newcomers Meadow Sprite and Mareera are both related to Listed winners and worth a second glance.
