        Verdict

        Andrew Balding won this with the smart Bangkok in 2019 and GROUNDBREAKER has the best piece of form. The latter is fitted with a hood on his return having gone close at Kempton in December. Togai could go well at this level having faced a tougher task in a conditions race last time but a couple of the newcomers may prove bigger threats. General Idea is related to a winning stablemate while Almuhit is a full brother to a couple of winners including the high-class Taghrooda.
