Verdict

EMPEROR'S STAR (7) finished ninth at this track and distance at his last appearance ten months ago. He hails from the Charlie Appleby stable and is sure to make his presence felt. KING OF TIME (1) was not himself when finishing a bad last as the favourite when resuming over 1 ?m last start at Jebel Ali. Generally goes well with that run under the belt. Among the winning hopes. KALIDASA (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1m on the dirt here. Faces an easier assignment so he can bounce back. GREEN TRIANGLE (4) was a fair sixth at the second run back from a break in a 1 ¼m contest at Nottingham at his latest appearance. He makes his local debut and can give this a shake.
