Tides Rise is in good form and should make a bold bid to follow last week's victory He's only 4lb higher and looks to have a fine chance. Nathr has been in good form though shot up the weights for his very easy victory over Tides Rise in November and has struggled subsequently. Lanadam will be making his first appearance on the track but he's been in superb form at Al Ain and Jebel Ali and there's no reason why he won't act around here. Taqneen can win races around here as he was having his first start since 2014 when a good third to Active Spirit two weeks ago. The winner produced a real shock that day but there didn't look any fluke about it and he should be in the picture. ENERY (NAP) has improved since stepping up to around this trip and his close second to Brabbham at the end of last month was his best run for a long time so he's taken to go one better.
