17/2

Dubawi gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Old Persian, won Dubai City of Gold and Dubai Sheema Classic. Makes appeal on pedigree and betting should be informative.

Forecasts

Vino Sauro (9/4), Honest Moon (3/1), Amjaad (7/2), Elusive Trevor (9/2), Al Fareeq (13/2), Historic Times (17/2), Frostfire (11/1), No Escape (20/1), Fir Feasa (25/1), Political Truth (25/1), Just (25/1), Hidden Secret (28/1), Nukanan (40/1), Desert Horizon (50/1), Halucinogenie (66/1)

Honest Moon sets a clear standard but he does have fitness to prove, while Jamie Osborne's VINO SAURO is already up and running and should relish the step back up in trip. Elusive Trevor may be best of the rest
