Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes (Group 3)

Off time: 14:16 | Winning time: 1m 0.02s

(3)

Hurricane Ivor⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 107| D

4/1

Big improver for current yard, and doubled his tally for the campaign when landing the Portland at Doncaster last weekend. This demands a bit more and run of the race might not suit as much.

Form: 012031

(8)

Khaadem^b¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: C Hills| OR: 109| C| D

3/1

2019 Stewards' Cup winner who produced his best effort some time when taking a listed race at Doncaster in cosy fashion 10 days ago. Obvious claims if he reproduces that form.

Form: 325451

(6)

King's Lynn⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 108| BF| D

7/2

Smart type who shaped well in the Wokingham and wasn't himself when only sixth of 7 at this course a couple of months ago. Drop in trip no issue, so should be back on his game.

Form: 321736

(5)

Makanah⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 100| DWS

25/1

Smart sprint handicapper when on his game and posted a solid effort when second in a handicap at Musselburgh last time. This looks above his pay grade, though.

Form: 71-7402

(2)

Moss Gill^b1²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: P J McDonald| T: E Bethell| OR: 108| D

8/1

Smart gelding who was bang in form before facing a stiff task in the Nunthorpe at York last month. Listed level is more like his grade, though.

Form: 4-20220

(1)

Tis Marvellous^t²¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 109| D

5/1

Likeable sort who has taken his form to a new level lately, powering away to complete a double in a listed race at Beverley 3 weeks ago. Leading claims in his hat-trick bid.

Form: 944311

(7)

Atalis Bay¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 103| D

11/1

Progressive sprinter who made all in listed Scurry Stakes at Sandown (5f) in June and was firmly back on track when third in a handicap at Haydock last time. Worth his chance at this level.

Form: 6-12193

(4)

Significantly⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: K R Burke| OR: 100| D

12/1

Won big-field 5f Ascot handicaps in the summer and hasn't been discredited in a higher grade since. Likely to come up short again, though.

Form: 211468

Forecasts

Khaadem (3/1), King's Lynn (7/2), Hurricane Ivor (4/1), Tis Marvellous (5/1), Moss Gill (8/1), Atalis Bay (11/1), Significantly (12/1), Makanah (25/1)

TIS MARVELLOUS was well on top at the finish when landing a listed event at Beverley 3 weeks ago and makes marginally the most appeal bidding for a hat-trick in this tightly-knit Group 3. Khaadem, who also arrives on the back of an impressive listed success, ranks as a big threat along with King's Lynn.
