3/1
C&D winner twice last year. 5/2, shaped as if needing the run after 10 months off when 6¾ lengths fifth of 7 to Al Tariq in Dubawi Stakes at this C&D 3 weeks ago. Big player with that under his belt.

Has progressed into a smart performer and not disgraced when 4¼ lengths fifth of 14 to Man of Promise in listed race at this track (6f, good) 14 days ago. Step forward needed here, however.

Shaped with plenty of promise for his new yard (tongue tied) when 2 lengths second of 7 to Al Tariq in Dubawi Stakes (7/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago. May build on that effort here.

14/1
C&D winner. 14/1, ran creditably making a quick return to the turf when third of 14 in minor event at this course (6f, good) a fortnight ago. Looks up against it here though.

15/2
Career best on first run since leaving Mark Johnston when winning 11-runner handicap (15/2) at this C&D 50 days ago, making all. Upped in grade here but worth his place in the line-up.

Tongue strap on for 1st time, improved to comfortably complete the hat-trick when winning 7-runner minor event (2/1) at this C&D 4 weeks ago, keeping on well. Unexposed & open to further improvement.

Forecasts

Canvassed (3/1), Al Tariq (5/1), Freedom Fighter (11/2), Bet Law (11/2), Positivity (11/2), Meraas (15/2), Ibn Malik (14/1), Notre Dame (14/1), Ejtilaab (18/1)

Verdict

A competitive closing contest which can go the way of CANVASSED. Doug Watson's charge shaped as if needing the run on reappearance over C&D 3 weeks ago and he can turn the tables on stablemate Al Tariq with that outing sure to have blown away any cobwebs. Runner-up in that contest Freedom Fighter can fight out minor honours with Meraas.
