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 1810m 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 1400m, failing to finish the race. He had excuses that day, and will relish stepping up to 1800m. Stick with him. DIOPTASE (9) is returning from a spell of four months. Scored at Cagnes-sur-Mer over 1500m 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.
