Gelded/off 16 months before an improved sixth of 15 in handicap (16/1) here (7f, good) 7 days ago. This son of Sea The Stars remains with few miles on the clock and is a player now stepping up in trip.

First run since leaving Charlie Appleby when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Jebel Ali (7f, 15/2) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Unreliable individual. 7/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) in August on his final run for Hughie Morrison. Needs to back it up for his new yard.

25/1, first run since leaving Charlie Appleby when ninth of 13 in maiden at Meydan (8f) 42 days ago, left with too much to do. Makes handicap debut. Possibilities.

Forecasts

Emperor's Star (9/4), Tamrat (11/4), Mount Kosciuszko (6/1), The Ice Phoenix (8/1), Lunatick (10/1), Poster Paint (16/1), Stormy Waves (16/1), Athan (18/1), Tohoku (20/1), Age Of Baroque (33/1), Ratib (40/1), Legend Of Cannes (50/1), Ajwad (66/1), Persian Empire (66/1)

Verdict

Charlie Appleby's lightly-raced EMPEROR'S STAR made an encouraging return from a long absence when sixth here recently and can take a sizeable step forward now his stamina is unlocked more. Mount Kosciuszko figures on a handy mark and is next on the list ahead of The Ice Phoenix and Tamrat who both need considering starting out with new yards.
