A listed winner here last summer, preference is for ABSURDE who could still have more to offer on the Flat having been beaten only 1¾ lengths in the Melbourne Cup when last seen on the level. He arrives on the back of an emphatic success over hurdles and is taken to see off the challenge of Illinois, with Aidan O'Brien bidding for a seventh win in the race. Al Qareem completes the shortlist.
