Race preview
OLD SMOKE was not at his very best at Musselburgh last time but he was only beaten two lengths in a very good renewal of the London Gold Cup prior to that. The application of first-time cheekpieces could help Richard Fahey's three-year-old bounce back to that level of form here and he will be tough to beat if doing so. Unexposed hat-trick seeker Chriszoff is an obvious threat to the selection, while Dubai Souq is the pick of the remainder.
