9/1

First run since leaving David Fawkes when seventh of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this course (7f) 21 days ago. May need a few to falter.

Local Dynasty^v²⁶

4/1

Blinkered for 1st time, 21 lengths ninth of 11 to David of Athens in Jebel Ali Mile (11/2) 26 days ago. Should prove more competitive back in a handicap with the visor refitted.

Form: 3/2564-9

6/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. In great form of late and expected to be bang there.

11/4

Good 3 lengths fourth of 11 to David of Athens in Jebel Ali Mile (18/1) 26 days ago. Has been running well of late but may have to settle for a minor role again.

17/2

10/3 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good second of 16 in handicap at Meydan (8f, good) 35 days ago, pulling clear of rest. Looks a danger if repeating that effort returning to the dirt.

18/1

One win from 26 Flat runs. 24 lengths twelfth of 14 to Diamond Dealer in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Hard to make a case for.
