Al Tariq^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: D Watson| OR: 111| CD

28/1

Smart gelding. Three wins from 5 runs last year. 4¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Eastern World in Mahab Al Shimaal (10/3) at this C&D 21 days ago, fading only late on.

Dr. Schivel^b1,t1⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: F Prat| T: M Glatt| OR: 119| D

9/4

Top-class US performer who completed 5-timer in Grade 2 Santa Anita Sprint Championship in October. Found to have temperature when well held in Malibu Stakes so that effort can be forgiven and he just about sets the standard.

3/1

Very smart colt. Four wins from 7 runs last year. Creditable neck second of 5 to Miles Ahead in non-graded event at Gulfstream (6f, 7/10) 35 days ago. Grade 1 US winner last year and he demands consideration.

Forecasts

Dr. Schivel (9/4), Drain The Clock (3/1), Red Le Zele (11/2), Meraas (7/1), Wondrwherecraigis (15/2), Chain Of Love (12/1), Eastern World (16/1), Switzerland (22/1), Mobaadel (22/1), Good Effort (22/1), Manjeer (25/1), Al Tariq (28/1), Strongconstitution (40/1), Everfast (50/1)

DRAIN THE CLOCK and Dr. Schivel boast high-class US form on dirt and they could be the pair to focus on, with marginal preference for the former. Wondrwherecraigis hasn't achieved as much at that pair but has an enviable strike rate and he may still be improving.
