3-time C&D winner. 5/1, creditable 1¼ lengths third of 9 to Meraas in Al Shindagha Sprint at this C&D 22 days ago. Going through a good spell at the moment so looks competitive on form.
|
Won twice over C&D (including this corresponding race) last year. Stepped up on reappearance when ¾-length second of 9 to Meraas in Al Shindagha Sprint at this C&D (3/1) 22 days ago. Leading player.
|
Stepped up on reappearance when winning 12-runner handicap at Jebel Ali (6f, 16/1) 6 days ago. Quick turnaround and will need a big step forward to have any sort of say.
|
50/1, well-beaten eighth of 12 to Hot Rod Charlie in Maktoum Challenge Round 2 at this course (9.4f) 29 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Others more persuasive.
|
18/1, creditable 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Meraas in Al Shindagha Sprint at this C&D 22 days ago, off bridle long way out but making late headway. Each-way claims at best.
|
Not seen to best effect when 1¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Meraas in Al Shindagha Sprint (11/2) at this C&D 22 days ago, running on after forced wide home turn. May do better granted a smoother passage.
|
Respectable 4½ lengths fourth of 16 to Storm Damage in listed race (40/1) at Meydan (7f, good) 22 days ago. May have a say provided he takes to this dirt surface.
|
Four wins from 11 runs last year. 4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 8 days ago, leading over 1f out. Struggled in Group 3 company on penultimate start so others preferred.
|
Won twice in the USA last year but yet to make much of a splash in a couple of starts on these shores, well-beaten third of 9 in handicap at this course (7f) 15 days ago. More needed.
|
Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving D. Watson when 8½ lengths seventh of 11 to Khuzaam in listed race (7/1) at Jebel Ali (5f) 6 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts
Canvassed (6/4), Al Tariq (10/3), Freedom Fighter (8/1), Notre Dame (9/1), Eastern World (10/1), Ejtilaab (10/1), Positivity (14/1), Manjeer (22/1), Day Approach (28/1), Premier Star (28/1)
CANVASSED showed the benefit of his reappearance when finishing runner-up over C&D just over 3 weeks ago, doing enough to suggest he retains all of his ability. Having won this corresponding event last year, he gets the nod to repeat the feat. Al Tariq and Freedom Fighter finished third and fourth respectively behind the selection last time and they're put forward as the main dangers here.
