11/10, first run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when last of 7 in handicap at Jebel Ali (9f) 27 days ago. Back on turf but others preferred.
|
First run since leaving Charlie Appleby when ninth of 13 in handicap at Meydan (8f, 25/1) 35 days ago. Not taken lightly with that run under his belt.
|
Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (7f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Latest win at Gowran in June. 8/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 58 days ago.
|
15/1, 9¾ lengths tenth of 11 to Agualeto in listed race at Marseilles Borely (9.9f, good to firm). Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving Jean-Claude Rouget. Makes handicap debut.
|
Course winner. 50/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (7f, good) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Bit to prove at present.

|
Course winner. 9/1, below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Meydan (8f) 7 days ago. Looks well treated and is shortlist material.
|
C&D winner. 10/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Jebel Ali (9f) 27 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
|
11/4, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Abu Dhabi (8f, good) 28 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
|
Twice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 6/4, third of 11 in novice at Kempton (8f) 63 days ago, finishing with running left. Makes handicap debut and is likely to improve.
|
Course winner. 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, improved on recent efforts to win 15-runner handicap at Jebel Ali (9.7f) 27 days ago. 8lb higher now. Others more persuasive.

|
Winner at Abu Dhabi in November. Very good second of 12 in handicap (28/1) there (8f, good) 28 days ago. May need some of these to falter.

Forecasts
Emperor's Star (5/2), Wesam (4/1), Cosmic Desert (6/1), Silver Sword (7/1), Kalidasa (17/2), Eljenob (11/1), Eye On The Prize (16/1), Green Triangle (18/1), King Of Time (20/1), Deciduous (25/1), Sioux Dream (28/1), Wanees (33/1), Motadarrek (33/1), Monaadah (40/1), Silent Defense (40/1)
