Fairly useful horse. Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Good 1½ lengths fifth of 16 to Taamol in handicap at this C&D (good, 40/1) 8 days ago. Work cut out on these terms.
|
Smart gelding. 6/1, career best when winning 15-runner Al Fahidi Fort at this C&D (good) 57 days ago by 4 lengths from Alfareeq, producing a fine turn of foot under more patient tactics than usual. Sound claims if arriving in same form here.
|
Smart gelding. 14/1, career best when winning 11-runner listed race at this C&D (good) 22 days ago by 2¼ lengths from Modern News. Looks competitive on form.
|
Useful gelding. Bit below form neck third of 11 to Western Writer in listed race at Abu Dhabi (7f, good) 16 days ago.
|
Smart gelding. 9/1, 6½ lengths eighth of 11 to Sandrine in Lennox Stakes at Goodwood (7f, good to firm). Off 7 months/first run for yard after leaving Roger Varian. Remains low mileage and worth a second look given solid record fresh.
|
Smart gelding. Course winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (13/2) at Newmarket (7f, good) in September, making late headway having been left poorly placed. Good third in this race 12 months ago and no surprise to see him thereabouts again this time around.
|
Useful horse. Two wins from 5 runs last year. 6¾ lengths seventh of 11 to Danyah in listed race at this C&D (good, 17/2) 22 days ago. Others rate stronger for win purposes..
|
Smart gelding. One win from 1 run last year. 66/1, below form 7½ lengths sixth of 10 to Valiant Prince in Singspiel Stakes at this course (9f, good) 29 days ago. Down in trip.
|
C&D winner. Three wins from 7 runs last year. Latest win here in January. Creditable 3 lengths third of 11 to Danyah in listed race at this C&D (good, 6/1) 22 days ago. Remains relatively low mileage and claims of hitting the frame again.
|
Twelve runs since last win in 2020. Excellent neck second of 11 to Western Writer in listed race at Abu Dhabi (7f, good) 16 days ago.
|
Useful gelding. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this C&D (good, 20/1) 8 days ago, quickening to lead final 100 yds. Clearly in good heart but this understandably tougher.
|
Useful gelding. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Career best when winning 11-runner listed race at Abu Dhabi (7f, good) 16 days ago by neck from Syrtis.
|
C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. Creditable 1¾ lengths seventh of 16 to Taamol in handicap at this C&D (good, 28/1) 8 days ago, nearest finish having met trouble repeatedly. More on his plate here.
|
Useful mare. Seven wins from 27 Flat runs. Bit below form 7 lengths sixth of 12 to With The Moonlight in Cape Verdi at this course (8f, good, 20/1) 29 days ago.

Forecasts
Al Suhail (4/6), Danyah (6/1), Laneqash (15/2), Shining Blue (12/1), Path Of Thunder (18/1), Rodaballo (20/1), San Donato (22/1), Internationalangel (22/1), Haqeeqy (22/1), Western Writer (25/1), Zainhom (28/1), Taamol (40/1), Ajwad (50/1), Syrtis (66/1)
AL SUHAIL produced a fine turn of foot and looked better than ever when landing a C&D Group 2 on his return to action in January and, whilst he's never been the most consistent, a repeat should see him tough to beat here. Danyah, a winner himself last time, and the returning Laneqash head up the dangers, with Path of Thunder also making each-way appeal.
