        Verdict

        The Meydan veterans Cavalryman and Star Empire finished 1-2 in this a year ago with the former scoring by 5l. The winner was returning from a break, as he is today, and will take all the beating again though he only had a neck to spare over stablemate AHZEEMAH (NAP) in the Goodwood Cup. The latter arrives here with a fine run under his belt and that race sharpness can enable him to come out on top this time. Meandre wasn't far behind the selection last time after meeting trouble in-running but Rio Tigre had every chance and looks held.
