        Verdict

        Doug Watson runs three with mile winner Grand Argentier preferred dropping back down in class. Winslow had just the one outing last year and Galvanize, formerly with Sir Michael Stoute, debuts for the yard. Brabbham was winning off much lower marks here last year but is upped a further 3lb after scoring at Jebel Ali recently but Ormindo ended a long losing run with a double last month, including a success over 1m3f at the track. VIVERNUS was having only his fifth start when storming to a seven-length victory in a maiden over track and trip last time and it could pay to stick with Musabbeh Al Mheiri’s colt in this.
