Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M F De Kock| OR: 83

33/1

Fair form. 22/1, best effort when length second of 12 to reopposing Mayehaab in maiden at this course (7f, good) 12 days ago. Significant improvement required.

Form: 802

Master Of The Seas¹⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 112| BF

1/3

Landed Group 2 Superlative at Newmarket (7f, good) on just his second start and 2 lengths fourth in Group 1 National Stakes at the Curragh in September on only subsequent outing. Sets high standard.

Form: 114-

Mayehaab¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: A Fresu| T: F Nass| OR: 85| C

14/1

Beat reopposing Yurman by length when making a winning debut over 7f here 12 days ago. Open to improvement but big chunk required to trouble Master of The Seas.

Form: 1

Naval Crown²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: M Barzalona| T: C Appleby| OR: 104

3/1

Useful colt. Winner over 7f at York in August. Respectable 4 lengths third of 6 to Mouheeb in UAE 2000 Guineas on dirt here 3 weeks ago. The one likely to give his stablemate most to think about.

Form: 33133-3

Nibras Passion^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: I Mohammed| OR: 85

50/1

Fairly useful performer. Winner at Abu Dhabi (7f) in January. 15/2, fifth of 8 in conditions event at this course (7f, good) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Improvement needed now up at 1m.

Form: 894-15

Sharp Spun^v1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: A Bin Harmash| OR: 82

100/1

Both outings on the dirt course here, showing promise on 1m debut but disappointingly failed to build on that when down the field over 9.5f a fortnight later. Visor added.

Form: 30

Last year's Newmarket Group 2 winner MASTER OF THE SEAS sets the bar very high here and can lead home a Charlie Appleby 1-2 ahead of Naval Crown.
