      Verdict

      Lihou seeks a fifth win of the campaign and is 4lb better off than when beaten under a length by DREAM COMPOSER at Newmarket last month. But he’s not won here in six previous visits whereas James Evans’ five-year-old is a course specialist who is fancied to confirm recent course and distance running with Angle Land, despite a 5lb turnaround in the weights. Dubai Station may be best of the rest.
