Fair gelding. Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 20¼ lengths tenth of 14 to Morning in minor event at Sharjah (6f) 62 days ago. Uphill task.
16/1, thirteenth of 15 in handicap at Meydan (8f). Off over 4 years. Significantly down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Fawzi Abdulla Nass. Very hard to make a case for after lengthy layoff.
Fairly useful gelding. 22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when 2½ lengths third of 7 to Torivega in minor event at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Something to find on form.
Useful horse. C&D winner. First run since leaving Julio Olascoaga when 16½ lengths fifth of 6 to Tuz in Dubawi Stakes at Meydan (6f, 50/1) 15 days ago. Looks competitive on pick of form.
Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 20/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Meydan (5f, good) 8 days ago, slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Useful gelding. First run since leaving Ms Sheila Lavery when didn't need to be at best when winning 7-runner minor event at this course (6f, 4/9) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously.
TORIVEGA made a winning start out here last time and has sound claims of following up. Mozahim looks to have most to offer of the rest, while Morning has place prospects as well.
