5/6
Verging on smart in 2021, resuming winning ways in 5-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) on his final outing 16 months ago. Has since left Roger Varian and further improvement can't be ruled out.

9/1
Ran well faced with an easier task when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 92 days ago, slowly away. Off 92 days. First run for yard after leaving Hugo Palmer for 100,000 gns. Can make presence felt.

10/1
Course winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap at this course (6f, good, 7/1). Off 10 months but still respected on return.

20/1
Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but ran well when fourth of 15 in 7f handicap at Abu Dhabi on his final start in March. Back down in trip and worth considering.

3/1
Fairly useful performer who ran no sort of race at this venue 10 months ago, seeming unsuited by the switch to dirt. Better showing likely now back on turf. Has been gelded.

Fairly useful maiden who finished last of 14 in minor event at Sharjah (6f) 9 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Hard to fancy.

Useful handicapper. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Ran poorly at Goodwood on final outing for Kevin Philippart De Foy but could bounce back for new yard after a break/gelding operation.

Forecasts

Boomshalaa (5/6), Home City (3/1), Hierarchy (9/1), Taneen (10/1), Shamlaan (12/1), Thunder Of Niagara (20/1), Roulston Scar (33/1), Bin Askar (50/1)

Verdict

BOOMSHALAA has a 16-month absence to overcome but he was verging on smart when last seen and further improvement can't be ruled out after just 6 career starts, so he gets the vote. Hierarchy and Shamlaan head the dangers.

  1. Boomshalaa5/6
  2. Hierarchy9/1
  3. Shamlaan12/1
