Verdict

SHEIKHZAYEDROAD has been in fine form in Dubai this winter and assuming he gets the strong pace that looks likely, he's taken to go one better than his excellent second in the Dubai Gold Cup last time. Weekender looks like an exciting prospect for John Gosden while Time To Study could be dangerous to gift an easy lead to and may not be done progressing yet.
