Verdict

ELUSIVE TREVOR (9) needed his fresh-up run when finishing seventh as the favourite last time out over 6f at this track. Steps up in distance today, and Tadhg O'Shea stays aboard. Follow your money. On top. FICTION MAKER (3) is back after a break of eight months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1m at this track. Each way claims. NUKANAN (6) is back after a break of eight months. He has the ability and will be a lot stronger this season. Include in all combinations. KING'S CORONATION (5) is an imported four-year-old having his first run in this area for the Sultan Al Hajri barn. He showed talent earlier in his career, and if he has settled into his new surroundings, then he is more than capable of a top 4 finish.
