REBEL'S ROMANCE wasn't at his very best in the Sheema Classic last month but still looks the one to beat on a rare start in Britain. Epic Poet is another who arrives with fitness assured after a spell in Dubai and might provide a bigger threat than the returning Sweet William.

    Verdict
    High-class gelding (7-time Group/Grade1 winner). Only a respectable 3 lengths fourth in Dubai Sheema Classic at Meydan last time but still the one to beat now tackling 1¾m for the first time.

    Verdict
    Very smart stayer, winning Sagaro at Ascot (2m) and Doncaster Cup (2¼m) last year. Chased home Kyprios in Long Distance Cup back at Ascot on final start. Second in 2023 Ebor over C&D.

    Verdict
    2023 St Leger winner but failed to hit the same heights last year and it's been a similar story in 2 outings in the Middle East this spring. Needs first-time blinkers to spark a full-scale revival.

    Verdict
    Fourth in last year's Ebor over C&D and arrives on the back of a good spell in the Middle East, including a 1¾m Meydan win in January. Creditable 3 lengths third of 10 to Dubai Future in Dubai Gold Cup there (2m) 6 weeks ago. Should go well.

    C&D Group 3 winner last summer but found out in stronger Group races over 2m later in the season. Probably vulnerable on return.
