After mainly campaigning over further than this 6f distance, he's placed on both occasions when running over it including a close second over C&D last time out on his seasonal reappearance a month ago.

Still looks fairly well treated in the weights, he's got more than enough ability to be winning a race of this standard.

An impressive sort in England for Godolphin and Charlie Appleby, he reached a career high mark of 103 before moving to Simon & Ed Crisford.

He ran just once for them when third over a mile here after a 609 day lay off and despite nearly a year out once again, this is clearly a horse with a lot of class and you can’t rule him out from being amongst the places at least

One win and two places from four runs in England, she’s really well bred and her two best performances have come over this distance.

She has that experience over 7f over her stable mates in this race and she’s the pick of them as she looks to make a big impact in the UAE.

Had an impressive debut season last year and won twice over C&D before struggling when taking a step up in class and a step up in distance.

Showed he needed further when reappearing over 7f in November but found the extended 9f distance a touch too far next time out last month. A mile clearly looks like his favoured distance and a return to that in this race makes him a big player

Bolted up by over five lengths on debut over 5f and despite picking up a win in one of his two appearances over 7f, it did look just a stretch too far for him.

Sent off odds on fav at Jebel Ali in November, he was a close second behind Raahy but looked like he needed the run and seems more than capable of bouncing back with a win here
