WALK OF STARS (1) returns from a break of nine months. He was a consistent performer last prep, whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 2000m at this track. He comes to hand quickly and can take this out. HEART OF HONOR (8) was too good when resuming in an easier race over 1600m at this track last start, scoring by 7 lengths. He is a lot stronger since returning from the US, where he raced in G1 company. He will be hard to hold out in this. ARTORIUS (6) is back at the races for the first time since March 1. Worth noting, he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal, especially with top hoop William Buick in the irons. KABIRKHAN (3) is a handy type who resumes after a break of ten months. At his last appearance, he finished well back over 2000m in the G2 Al Maktoum Classic at this track. He has since changed stables and has to be respected. Check the markets.
