Verdict

MOTHECOMBE (12) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only by a head. He would have improved again since then, and every horse from the Charlie Appleby stable is normally the one to beat in this part of the world. FORT GEORGE (6) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when third over 1 ?m at Newmarket (Rowley) three-and-a-half months ago. He has a good draw and will be ready to rumble. Follow the market moves. MONUMENTAL (1) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Dark Trooper in Listed grade at Abu Dhabi over 7f, failing to finish the race. He had excuses that day, and will relish stepping up to 1 ?m. Stick with him. DIOPTASE (9) is returning from a spell of four months. Scored at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 7 ½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Helal & Tahnon Alalawi, and he will have no trouble measuring up in this area.
