Race 4 - Firebreak Stakes Presented By Longines - Group 3 - Dirt

High-class horse. 9/1, career best when winning 12-runner Dubai World Cup at this course (9.9f) by 8½ lengths from Ushba Tesoro, routing the opposition from the front. Off 10 months but very much the one to beat on return to action.

Smart gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner Al Maktoum Mile Stakes at this C&D (11/8) 35 days ago by 3 lengths from Qareeb. Progressing well and limit may not yet be reached.

Smart horse. 43/1, 9¼ lengths thirteenth of 16 to Ramatuelle in Prix de la Foret at Longchamp (7f, soft). Off 110 days and has to prove he's as effective on dirt.

Useful gelding. C&D winner. Visored for 1st time, creditable ¾-length third of 12 to Crown Estate in handicap at this C&D (20/1) 21 days ago. Right up against it.

Useful gelding. Course winner. 5/1, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Jebel Ali (8f) 48 days ago.

Useful horse. 3/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Chad C. Brown when creditable 7½ lengths third of 6 to Meshtri in Al Maktoum Mile Stakes at this C&D 35 days ago.

Useful horse. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 418/10, 12½ lengths tenth of 13 to Full Serrano in Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile at Del Mar (8f) 83 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Cherie Devaux.

First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 12-runner handicap (40/1) at this C&D 21 days ago by ¾ length from Made In Dubai, despite slowly away. This is a different ask.

Useful gelding. C&D winner. 28/1, ¾-length second of 12 to Crown Estate in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Uphill task.

Smart horse. First run since leaving B. Seemar when below form 13 lengths fourth of 12 to Tuz in Dubawi Stakes (13/8) at this course (6f). Off 12 months. First run for yard after leaving D. Watson and steps back up in trip.
