Dubai Duty Free Handicap

Useful performer who was a Group 3 winner at 2 and also placed at listed/Group level last spring. Lost his form at the end of 2024 and made little impact on Doncaster return last month. Reapplication of blinkers may see him in better light here.

Scored three times on turf over 6f in 2023 but he's been absent since posting a good fifth in handicap at Meydan 13 months ago. Needs to hit the ground running.

Dual winner on AW last year but well beaten at Haydock when last seen in October and usually needs a run to sharpen him up.

Dual winner last year who arrives on back of creditable third of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 28 days ago. Can make presence felt.

Won twice from 4 starts last season and ran right up to best, back from 10 months off, when third of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Likely contender.

Posted career best when winning 10-runner handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 34 days ago, kept up to work. Yet to prove himself on turf but remains on a fair mark and must enter calculations.

On a long losing run and arrives on back of disappointing run at Kempton 13 days ago. Others more convincing.

Won 2 of his 4 starts for Tom Clover, including when taking 12-runner handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 months ago. Since joined new yard and is worth monitoring in market on belated return.

Largely performed well in 2024 and matched personal best, back from 5 months off, when close second of 19 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good, 16/1) 12 days ago. Shortlist material.

Off the mark for Ruth Carr at Ayr in October and acquitted himself well in defeat thereafter, latest when respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (6f) 123 days ago. Ought to give another good account.

Consistent sort who posted another solid effort when second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 2/1) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Takes on better opposition here but remains fairly treated.
