Verdict

El Drama and SHINING BLUE (NAP) look the two that matter in this. The former is possibly better over a shade further but finished second in a Group 1 at Meydan in March. The latter looked ready for a return to Listed company when running away with a handicap here last month, however, and may have a bit more scope. Godolphin have won this twice in the last five years. Chichester is likely to chase home the market principals ahead of Azano.
