Forecasts

Shirl's Bee (5/6), Al Marmoom Gate (6/1), Jassar (17/2), Sharar (10/1), Almutawakel (11/1), Nopoli (14/1), Legend Of Cannes (20/1), Mouneef (22/1), Shake Hand (25/1), Go Soldier Go (28/1), Mr Precocious (28/1), Lahresh (33/1), Armavir (40/1), Alimento (66/1)

Verdict

A maiden featuring appealing pedigrees from several newcomers, including SHIRL'S BEE who's been the subject of positive vibes from his trainer and is the choice of Dobbs. Almutawakel has the best form of those to have run and needs to sustain that on dirt debut. Jassar, stable companion of the selection, has a cracking UAE dirt pedigree and can't be discounted on racecourse bow.
