C&D winner. 10/1, bit below form 3¾ lengths eighth of 15 to Elnajmm in Al Fahidi Fort at Meydan (7f, good) 28 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back in a handicap.

Forecasts

Khanjar (10/3), Shaq Diesel (10/3), Lahfaty (7/2), Zandvoort (5/1), Strobe (15/2), African Candy (12/1), Army Ethos (16/1), Shootout (18/1), Go Chrome Go (22/1), Rebel's Gamble (40/1), Dolayli (50/1)

Verdict

KHANJAR looks to have narrowly the best credentials in an otherwise open contest. Lahfaty is also fancied to take a hand, while Zandvoort deserves respect as well.
