Verdict
Royston Ffrench and Ali Rashid Al Raihe have been in outstanding form since the Dubai season opened in November so Glen Nevis wouldn't be a shock winner despite having something to find. Godolphin have three representatives, the once-promising Capponi, Modern History, a Listed winner in France, and Sarrsar, a Shergar Cup winner at Ascot in August. None of the trio have run on the surface but the latter is unbeaten in two starts on Polytrack. Marching Time has run poorly here in the past but both Kal Barg and SECRETIVE arrive from in-form yards with strong recent runs behind them and preference is just for the latter, a winner at Jebel Ali last week.
