Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Meydan (6f). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving M. F. De Kock. Plenty to find on form.
|
10/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Meydan (7f) 58 days ago. Needs a few of these to falter.
|
10/3, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good), finding test too much. Off 104 days. Significantly back down in trip. Has to be taken seriously.
|
9/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Jebel Ali (7f) 22 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
Course winner. 5/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Jebel Ali (7f) 50 days ago.
|
Course winner. Last of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Jebel Ali (7f) 64 days ago. Sure to come on for that run and back on turf.
|
1¼ lengths second of 8 to Rayig in handicap at Jebel Ali (6f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Needs to back that up.
|
Thirteen runs since last win in 2020. Bit below form third of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Jebel Ali (5f) 22 days ago. Long time since last run on turf but has to enter calculations.
|
12/1, below form tenth of 16 in handicap at Meydan (8f) 44 days ago. Back down in trip. Blinkers removed. Can make presence felt.
|
Nineteen runs since last win in 2020. 8/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Jebel Ali (6f) 36 days ago. Looks competitive on form.
|
Eighth of 9 in handicap at Jebel Ali (7f, 22/1) 36 days ago. Others more persuasive.
|
4/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Jebel Ali (6f) 7 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Ayaad. A danger if transferring that form to turf.
|
Winner at Leicester in July. Bit below form fifth of 16 in handicap at Sharjah (6f) 15 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
|
Good second of 9 in maiden (18/1) at this C&D (good) 16 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts
Stunning Beauty (11/4), Rayig (6/1), Dukedom (15/2), Nibraas (9/1), Bawaasil (9/1), Cairn Island (9/1), Leading Spirit (10/1), Ayaad (12/1), Madkhal (18/1), Harvest Gold (20/1), Mcmanaman (20/1), Will To Win (20/1), Invincibly (22/1), Celtic Voyager (33/1)
A wide open race but the tentative vote goes to BAWAASIL who ran well off a similar mark last year and will be suited by the return to turf. Stunning Beauty can give a good account providing she isn't taken off her feet back at this trip. Leading Spirit and Rayig can't be discounted if reproducing their recent dirt form.
