In depth

Verdict

Despite completing a hat-trick, Miqyaas was the shock winner of a Group 2 three weeks ago in a finish of short-heads. Several of these, including Acklam Express and Khaadem, were close behind but it didn't appear to be a fluke victory. The three-year-old AL DASIM completed a Wolverhampton double before heading here where he's been very impressive in both starts. He's taking on older and better horses for the first time but his allowance might be enough to see him home. Gordon Elliott's Coachello was the surprise winner of a tough handicap in January with Thunder Of Niagara third and subsequent winner City Walk fifth and a similar effort should see him go close.
