Verdict
King Of The Nite, placed at Churchill Downs in 2020, hasn't run since last March and may just need this. LAKE CAUSEWAY has been racing over further but has the pace for this and Tadhg O'Shea picks him over Bosphorus, twice runner-up for the Gosdens early last year, and Zahau. Black Mark was staying on over Jebel Ali's stiff 6f last week and should be thereabouts while Line Of Sunshine showed his best form over the track and trip last month before a poor run on Jebel Ali's Dirt track.
