        Verdict

        Triple Nine has won eleven races in Korea including a Grade 1 at domestic level and Power Blade, beaten five lengths by him in November, ran well behind North America on his debut here. ETIJAAH (NAP) has a tremendous record around here and made an impressive comeback in November before finding Listed company too hot. This is his grade and he can gain another track victory. Fog of War had some smart form in Ireland for Ger Lyons and was only just touched off when conceding 6lb to Torcedor in a Premier handicap at the Curragh though that was in 2015. Hunting Ground won a slightly lower grade handicap at this time a year ago and continued to run with credit in better class. He was put in his place by Mizbah a fortnight ago, when Top Clearance was a short-head behind, but the latter pair should both go well here. Grand Argentier easily won a handicap here last February but this is a better race.
