Forecasts

Kabirkhan (11/4), Walk Of Stars (7/2), Imperial Emperor (4/1), Facteur Cheval (9/2), Gaassid (10/1), Local Dynasty (11/1), Generous Tipper (16/1), Qareeb (28/1), Clapton (28/1), Saayedd (40/1), Global Hit (66/1), Dhahabi (100/1)

Verdict

KABIRKHAN fell way short of market expectations in the Dubai World Cup when last seen in March but he was an impressive winner of this 12 months ago and can bounce back with a bang. Last season's Dubai Turf winner Facteur Cheval is a big threat if taking to this surface at the first attempt, with Walk of Stars and Imperial Emperor also in the mix.

  1. Kabirkhan11/4
  2. Facteur Cheval9/2
  3. Walk Of Stars7/2
