Race 7 - Jebel Hatta Presented By Longines (Group 1) - Turf

Very smart colt. Has a fine strike rate of five wins from 7 starts. Successful in 7-runner Al Rashidiya over C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago by 3 lengths from Nations Pride. Has low mileage and we may not have seen the best of him yet.

Smart horse. Multiple Group/Grade 1 winner. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable 3 lengths second of 7 to Opera Ballo in Al Rashidiya (11/4) at this C&D (good to soft) 35 days ago. May have to settle for a minor role behind that rival again.

Smart gelding. Latest win in listed race at Kempton in December. 5/4, not seen to best effect when 2 lengths fifth of 10 to Quddwah in Zabeel Mile at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago, trapped wide. Expected to bounce back.

Smart gelding. Three wins from 7 runs last year, including Grade 1 Canadian International. 910/10, 20 lengths thirteenth of 14 to Ethical Diamond in Breeders' Cup Turf at Del Mar (12f, firm) 83 days ago. Significantly down in trip and looks set for a minor role at best.

Smart gelding. French Group 3 winner last year. 13/10 and tongue strap on for 1st time, bit below form 3¼ lengths fourth of 8 to Nitoi in listed race at Chantilly (9f, soft). First run for yard after leaving Francis-Henri Graffard. Has work to do.

Smart gelding. Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to Quddwah in Zabeel Mile at this course (8f, good) 21 days ago. Upped further in trip and looks up against it.
