10/1
Lightly-raced winner of maiden and minor event. 40/1, 15¼ lengths seventh of 8 to Commissioning in Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (8f, good) 63 days ago. Has strong turf form but not bred for dirt and passed over for this test.

8/1
Fair colt. Good second to Sharp Army on debut but disappointing when only fifth of 8 in maiden at this course (6f, 7/4) last week. No surprise if he puts that behind him.

5/2, last of 4 in maiden at Jebel Ali (7f) 6 days ago. May well do better but this is a tough ask.

Forecasts

Sharp Army (2/1), Seyouff (5/2), Long Kiss (7/2), Nyaar (8/1), Alseyoob (10/1), Good Time Gal (22/1), Sadik (25/1), Ashger Asser (28/1)

Verdict

SHARP ARMY'S debut form has already been well advertised and he shades the vote in what is a fascinating contest. Long Kiss impressed when winning over this C&D last time and should push him all the way, while Nyaar is better than he showed here last week and can also claim some minor money.

  1. Sharp Army2/1
  2. Long Kiss7/2
  3. Nyaar8/1
