Pyromancer^h1¹⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: K Yoshimura| OR: 111| D

11/4

Godolphin-owned Japanese challenger is unbeaten in 3 starts in his homeland, including when taking 9-runner Local Group 1 at Kawasaki last time. Going back up in trip won't be an issue and has a strong chance of giving Japan a fifth successive win in this contest.

Form: 111-

Wonder Dean⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Demuro| T: D Takayanagi| OR: 107| D

5/1

Maiden winner at Nakayama in September wasn't beaten far when second to Pyromancer on his next start but hasn't really progressed. Just respectable 4¼ lengths fourth of 14 to Al Haram in Saudi Derby at King Abdulaziz last time. Others looks a bit more persuasive.

Form: 4122-4

Six Speed⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Barzalona| T: B Seemar| OR: 105| C

5/2

Hasn't looked back since finishing third on debut, racking up a hat-trick of wins, including when comprehensively beating several of these rivals in the UAE 2000 Guineas last time.

Form: 31-11

Go Man³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Crastus| T: R Chotard| OR: 103

66/1

Useful colt on turf in France. Latest win at Toulouse in November. Good 1¼ lengths third of 8 to Baklawa in listed race at Cagnes-Sur-Mer last time. Dirt the obvious unknown (not really bred for it).

Form: 31331-3

Salloom⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P O'Shea| T: B Seemar| OR: 100| C

7/2

Created a big impression on debut when winning 15-runner 1m maiden at this course in January. Open to significant improvement and firmly in the mix.

Form: 1

Brotherly Love^b³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 99| CD

20/1

British-trained runner has won twice at Meydan this season, running his best race when taking 11-runner listed contest by 2 lengths from Duke of Immatin last time. Needs to progress again in this company.

Form: 522-181

(7)

Devon Island⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 97| C

12/1

Won twice over 1m at this course in November/December, though was put well in his place by Six Speed in the UAE 2000 Guineas last time. Has top connections in his corner but hard to see how he reverses that form.

Form: 211-2

(3)

Rammaas^t,b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A de Vries| T: B Seemar| OR: 96

50/1

Improved when winning 10-runner minor event at Jebel Ali last time but had been well held in UAE 2000 Guineas prior to that and steps up in trip now.

Form: 6413-01

Union Security^t⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Beasley| T: Ahmad Bin Harmash| OR: 96| C

50/1

Winner here on debut in November (6f). Good third to Six Speed in UAE 2000 Guineas penultimate start. Well below form in Saudi Derby last time.

Form: 16-330

Lino Padrino³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Mullen| T: B Seemar| OR: 94| C

50/1

Won on debut at this course (7f) in December. Good 2 lengths third of 11 to Brotherly Love in listed race at this C&D last time. Needs to progress again.

Form: 1-443

(8)

Labwah³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Bernardo Pinheiro| T: S Ghadayer| OR: 96| CD

16/1

Has looked impressive beating her own sex, including when winning 7-runner UAE Oaks over C&D by 7½ lengths from Yuno last time. This test demands more, however.

Form: 41-11

Forecasts

Six Speed (5/2), Pyromancer (11/4), Salloom (7/2), Wonder Dean (5/1), Devon Island (12/1), Labwah (16/1), Brotherly Love (20/1), Union Security (50/1), Lino Padrino (50/1), Rammaas (50/1), Duke Of Immatin (50/1), Go Man (66/1)

The unbeaten PYROMANCER has done nothing wrong to date and can help maintain Japan's vice-like grip on this contest. The home team should put up a good fight, though, headed by Six Speed, who was impressive last time, while his stablemate Salloom was most impressive on debut.
