Tuz (3/1), Mubakker (4/1), Golden Goal (9/2), Imperial Empire (13/2), Algiers (7/1), Soft Whisper (8/1), Royal Mews (17/2), Strongconstitution (10/1), Down On Da Bayou (16/1), Mouheeb (20/1), Celtic Prince (25/1), Duca Di Como (25/1), Desert Wisdom (33/1), Alkaamel (33/1), Erzindjan (33/1)

MUBAKKER is bred for dirt and took another step forward on his third start for this yard when winning over 7f here last month. He should stay 1m and shades the vote over Golden Goal, who looked better than ever at the age of 8 when taking the Maktoum Challenge Round 1 at this C&D. Imperial Empire took his form to another level with an easy win in a handicap 2 weeks ago and is another to consider.
