        Verdict

        Emirates Knight has the form in the book with a placed effort over 7f at Newcastle but Battle Of Wills has a more favourable draw and may prove best of those with racecourse experience. But several newcomers are worthy of attention including ASTROLOGER representing last year’s winning yard and the half-sister to a winner on the all-weather gets the vote. Godolphin colt Najib is also related to winner on artificial surfaces but Alhaazm is a brother to an Irish 2000 Guineas winner among others and preferred to 130,000gns purchase Approach The City.
