|
9/1, good sixth of 16 in handicap at Meydan (12f, good) 28 days ago. Needs to find a bit more on form but in good hands and bred for dirt.
|
100/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving A. Fabre when last of 14 in handicap at Meydan (9f, good) 14 days ago, dropping away quickly. Needs a couple of these to falter.

|
Didn't need to improve to win 16-runner handicap at Abu Dhabi (11.9f, good) 32 days ago. Hard to make a case for back on dirt.
|
Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Jebel Ali (9.7f, 5/2) 20 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Book Review. Can give another good account but wide draw makes things tricky.

Forecasts
Bright Start (2/1), Saqqara King (11/4), Real World (7/1), Remorse (10/1), Pharoah King (10/1), Twelfthofneverland (12/1), Book Review (14/1), Harbour Spirit (22/1), Sanad Libya (28/1), Welsh Lord (33/1), Good Tidings (33/1), Nova Roma (40/1), Aydon Castle (50/1), Sendeed (50/1), Grand Argentier (50/1), Three Weeks (50/1)
BRIGHT START just about gets the nod in what is a fascinating handicap. Pharoah King would have been the pick with a more favourable draw but should still be on the premises, while Saqqara King is an interesting dirt debutant.
