Verdict

Baroot was returning after a very long break when scoring over a the track and trip where he had plenty to spare over On The Warpath. Eshtiraak, who finished mid-division without looking like winning, is definitely one to keep an eye on. Major Partnership found 6f too short three weeks ago and has won over this trip though BEDOUIN'S STORY looks the one to be on. Saeed bin Suroor's charge landed a tough handicap at Newbury in October and really caught the eye when finishing strongly behind Desert Fire a fortnight ago. Seniority won three times over a mile last summer and will have found 7f too short on his first start here but Hors De Combat has come nowhere close to emulating his victory over the course and distance a year ago though the latter is just 1lb higher and could go well at decent odds.
