Useful gelding. Latest win at Jebel Ali in January. 6/1, 7¼ lengths twelfth of 14 to Royal Commando in listed race at Jebel Ali (5f) 14 days ago. Work to do if he's to figure at this level.

Useful horse. Tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving J. R. Chapman when 6 lengths third of 8 to Tuz in Al Shindagha Sprint (25/1) at this C&D 36 days ago, staying on. May build on that given it was his first start for 17 months.

C&D winner. 7 lengths fourth of 8 to Tuz in Al Shindagha Sprint (28/1) at this C&D 36 days ago. Another who will likely have to settle for minor honours again.

Smart colt. C&D winner. One win from 1 run last year. Latest win here in December. Good third of 10 in handicap at Meydan (7f, good, 22/1) 15 days ago. Still improving following just 4 career starts and good showing anticipated up in class.

Useful colt who landed each of his first 2 starts last season. Below best back from 11 months off when 11 lengths seventh of 8 to Tuz in Al Shindagha Sprint at this C&D 36 days ago but he's entitled to sharpen up for that outing.

Very smart gelding. 6-time C&D winner. Career best when winning 8-runner Al Shindagha Sprint (1/3) at this C&D 36 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Colour Up, readily. Highly likely he'll prove tough to beat again.

7/2
Into Mischief colt who boasts a progressive profile, bringing up a hat-trick of victories with good deal to spare in conditions' event at Chukyo (6f) in December. Interesting Oisin Murphy is booked on first start on these shores and he's worth a second look in receipt of weight all round.

Forecasts

Tuz (4/9), American Stage (7/2), Colour Up (16/1), Ma Yetal (18/1), Drew's Gold (25/1), El Nasseeb (25/1), Morning (40/1), Torivega (40/1), Eastern World (50/1), Cats By Five (50/1), Al Shibli (50/1), Major Cinnamon (50/1)

Verdict

8-y-o TUZ has looked as good as ever upon returning to action, pulling out all the stops to hold off old-rival Colour Up in a C&D Group 3 five weeks ago. He's the one to beat in his bid to make it 6 wins from his last 7 starts. Japanese-runner American Stage progressed well last year and he's fancied to pose a threat in receipt of weight all round. Aforementioned Colour Up and low-mileage El Nasseeb are others in the mix.

  1. Tuz4/9
  2. American Stage7/2
  3. Colour Up16/1
