6/1
Creditable ½-length second of 8 to Golden Call in listed race at Craon (11.9f, soft, 17/10). Off 6 months and first run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. Headgear left off. Has work to do at the weights.

7/2
Latest win at Jebel Ali in January. 11/4, very good short-head second of 11 to Killer Collect in listed race there (9.7f) 19 days ago. In good form of late and has to be taken seriously.

5/1
One win from 3 runs last year, in handicap at Jebel Ali. Bit below form 6 lengths fifth of 11 to Killer Collect in listed race there (9.7f, 28/1) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly on pick of efforts but needs to step up on runs this season.

10/1
Good effort when second here in January. Seventh of 13 in handicap also here (9.4f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Makes belated dirt debut and makes limited appeal on pedigree.

8/1
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, 22/1) 21 days ago. Is on a career-high mark and may find a few too good.
