Verdict

AL DESTOOR has been running well of late and finished a close second over further last time. The selection had run out the easy winner over a handicap over around this trip on soft ground prior to that and is taken to register his third career victory by taking this event. Zwayyan steps up to this trip for the first time and is less exposed than most of his rivals. William Haggas' charge handles softer surfaces and can claim second here ahead of Another Eclipse who is another who's been running well recently and he receives weight from all of his rivals today.
  1. Al Destoor
  2. Zwayyan
  3. Another Eclipse
