11/1, tenth of 15 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good) 14 days ago. Big chance if returning to the form shown on penultimate outing.
|
16/1, creditable second of 16 in handicap at this course (9f, good), well positioned. Off 10 months but has gone well fresh before.
|
Last of 8 in handicap at Jebel Ali (8f, 15/2) 41 days ago. Bounce back called for.
|
Lightly-raced winner who ran respectably when fifth of 11 in minor event at Ascot (8f, good to soft, 8/1). Off 105 days. First run for yard after leaving Marco Botti. Makes handicap debut. Considered.
|
Tenth of 13 in minor event at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 55 days ago.
|
Latest win at Abu Dhabi in November. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (10.9f, good) 27 days ago. Should remain competitive.
|
Lightly raced winner for Charlie Appleby but beat only one home on handicap/stable debut at Jebel Ali (9f) 41 days ago.
|
Off the mark at the fourth time of asking in a 1m novice at Salisbury in August. Seemed unsuited by conditions when well beaten on Pontefract handicap debut 8 weeks later, however. Has left Harry Charlton.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2021 and ran a bit below form when seventh of 14 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 63 days ago.
|
Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (10.9f, good) 27 days ago.
|
First run since leaving David O'Meara when fifth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Jebel Ali (9.7f) 11 days ago. Mertis consideration on pick of form.
|
20/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Meydan (9.4f) 35 days ago, missing break. Has work to do.
|
Winner at Brighton in August. 22/1, first run since leaving Andrew Balding when tenth of 13 in handicap at Meydan (9.4f) 35 days ago.

Forecasts
Magnum Opus (13/8), First View (9/2), Thyer (13/2), Desert Snake (17/2), Kathab (12/1), Delorean (14/1), Sudden Ambush (16/1), Shamran (16/1), Age Of Time (18/1), Sense Of Wisdom (25/1), Berkshire Nugget (28/1), Erasmo (33/1), Yurman (66/1)
MAGNUM OPUS was a shade underwhelming on his most recent outing, but he shaped notably well at Southwell the time before and is well worth another chance based on the promise of that run. First View has gone well fresh before and could do so again, with Sudden Ambush another to consider judged on the pick of his form.
