Notched 2 wins in Uruguay last year but limited impact in 2 outings here last month. Likely up against it again.

Second on Jebel Ali debut in December and left that form behind when running out a 5-length winner in maiden company here (7f; tongue tie added) 5 weeks later. Likely capable of better again.

Made a winning start to his career in a C&D maiden 49 days ago, responding well. Looks a very useful prospect.

Off the mark at the third time in 6f Jebel Ali maiden 13 days ago. His third over 1m prior to that suggests stamina won't be an issue but he'll need to advance his form to play a prominent role.

Useful colt. 593/10, 9½ lengths fourth of 5 to Practical Move in Grade 2 at Los Alamitos (8.5f) 55 days ago. Rejoined yard after leaving Leandro Mora. This trainer/jockey combination won this race in 2020. On the shortlist.

2-2, stepping up on the form of his debut when landing the trial for this race (7f) last month. Likely has more to offer but his stamina perhaps isn't assured now moving up to 1m.

Forecasts

Shirl's Bee (10/11), Tiger Nation (3/1), Tall Boy (6/1), Mr Raj (15/2), Morning (25/1), Legend Of Cannes (28/1), Magic Petition (28/1), Eye On The Prize (40/1), Talentum (66/1)

Verdict

SHIRL'S BEE looked promising when accounting for some quite useful opposition on his C&D debut in December and gets the nod for the Doug Watson team. Tiger Nation is an obvious threat on the back of his trial win, although his reduced lead late on in that contest raises a few stamina doubts now stepping up to 1m. Tall Boy found some improvement when fourth in a US Grade 2 last time and looks best of the remainder.

  2. Tiger Nation3/1
  3. Tall Boy6/1
