Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: S Hitchcott| T: D Watson

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Ffrench| T: S Ghadayer

Forecasts

Sadeedd (3/1), Triple Venture (9/2), Ra'ad (11/2), Axopar (11/2), Royal Sands (6/1), Show Maker (8/1), Law Of Nature (14/1), Zahau (16/1), Al Meqdam (16/1), Flame Talon (18/1), Desert Frost (25/1)

SADEEDD got back on track on his return and is the token choice in a trappy finale. Show Maker is bred for this sort of test and can make the places, while Triple Venture is perhaps the most interesting other runner in the field.
