FRENCH MARTINI (1) is back at the races for the first time since October 21. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 2400m at Brighton. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with two minor placings. One of the genuine hopes in the race. DUBAI HARBOUR (6) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with a win over 2000m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a nose after being in contention on the corner. Faces an easier assignment so he is a big chance to go back-to-back. SEA OF CHARM (3) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2400m at Salisbury. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ROYAL OBSERVATORY (4) had been racing well with three placings on end before finishing fourth last start over 2000m at
