Playwriter hasn't run since 2017 when placed at Redcar and Newmarket for Charlie Appleby. California Jumbo also makes his debut on the surface having shown potential in Ireland for Jonjo Stack. Compliance has run 15 times and finished second in eight of those races and though likely to take some catching he could hand the initiative to RIGHT FLANK. Doug Watson's charge ran his best race since arriving from France here three weeks ago and won't need much more to get off the mark. The stable also run Moojib, who has found 6f too short in his two runs to date while Sword Of Truth hasn't been beaten far in two recent starts at Jebel Ali.
