Bolthole
J:James Doyle
T:A De Mieulle
|
1563-1 | — | |||||||||||||
| Multiple Listed winner in France last season and landed the Umm Qarn Trophy at Doha at the start of the month; looks stable first string and should go close despite top weight. | ||||||||||||||||
| 2 (13) |
Qaader
J:Alberto Sanna
T:Fawzi Abdulla Nass
|
2d0/-5 | — | |||||||||||||
| Won this event two years ago but has only run three times since; some encouragement after lengthy lay-off at Bahrain a month ago. | ||||||||||||||||
| 3 (3) |
Aafoor
J:Oisin Murphy
T:M Al Attiya
|
2124-1 | — | |||||||||||||
| Booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye; beaten of marks in the mid-90s when trained in GB and now in the 100s following win in Sheikh Joann Bin Hamas Al Thani Rifle (1m2f) at Doha last month; major contender for handy low draw | ||||||||||||||||
| 4 (11) |
Carracci
J:Luis Morales
T:Nicholas Bachalard
|
223-10 | — | |||||||||||||
| Won Local Grade 1 here at the start of the year and was unsuited by the step back to 1m1f also at here at the end of the month; wide draw puts a downer on his chance. | ||||||||||||||||
| 5 (6) |
My Frankel
J:John R Velazquez
T:James Jerkens
|
1/220- | — | |||||||||||||
| Second in the race last year off a 2lb higher mark; looked as good as ever when second here two starts ago and failed to stay 1m4f last time out. | ||||||||||||||||
| 6 (1) |
Aemilianus
J:Maxime Guyon
T:Jassim Mohammed Ghazali
|
34-24P | — | |||||||||||||
| Consistent performer in Doha having finished in the first four on last seven starts; possibly better over shorter | ||||||||||||||||
| 7 (2) |
Austral
J:Christophe Soumillon
T:J De Mieulle
|
/207-6 | — | |||||||||||||
| Beat only one rival in this event last year and was comfortably beaten by Bolthole in the Umm Qarn Trophy at Doha; hard to see him reversing form at these weights | ||||||||||||||||
| 8 (7) |
Tabaretta
J:Joel Rosario
T:James Jerkens
|
126-20 | — | |||||||||||||
| Has recorded some solid efforts over a variety of trips and surfaces, including a win on the dirt in a 1m2f restricted race back in November; may struggle against turf specialists | ||||||||||||||||
| 9 (8) |
Blue Brother
J:Faleh Bughenaim
T:A De Mieulle
|
51125- | — | |||||||||||||
| Has done most of his racing over 1m so possibly in here to set a pace for stablemate Bolthole; though jockey and trainer combined for a shock win last year. | ||||||||||||||||
| 10 (10) |
Iron Lion
J:Camilo Ospina
T:Bedan Alsubaie
|
062-07 | — | |||||||||||||
| Solid 90+ 1m4f handicapper for David O'Meara when trained in UK, so may well find things happening a bit quick here | ||||||||||||||||
| 11 (12) |
Cracksking
J:Tom Marquand
T:Allan M Smith
|
4327-1 | — | |||||||||||||
| 190,000gns purchase out of James Fanshawe's yard where he was progressive over middle-distances in class 2 and 3 handicaps; landed a 1m4f handicap at Bahrain last time out so in form but may find this trip too sharp | ||||||||||||||||
| 12 (5) |
Salah Al Din
J:Marco Ghiani
T:Michele Italia
|
38481- | — | |||||||||||||
| Fair performer over 1m in Italy but nothing to really suggest this step up in trip will suit or that he is particularly well-handicapped | ||||||||||||||||
| 13 (4) |
Alcaraz
J:Silvestre De Sousa
T:G Arizkorreta Elosegui
|
30334- | — | |||||||||||||
| Hasn't won since landing a Listed race in France in May 2023; arguably well-handicapped on his very best form but many more preferred. | ||||||||||||||||
