Verdict

Satish Seemar has the three at the bottom of the handicap and champion UAE jockey Tadhg O’Shea is on board Pilgrim’s Treasure, a winner over the track and trip on his final start last season. However, stable companion MAZEED made a successful debut here a year ago under Richie Mullen and the combination can strike again. Way of Wisdom won a Newmarket maiden on his debut for Godolphin last year and makes his handicap debut for new connections. Lytham St Annes, an Epsom maiden winner for David Simcock, hasn’t managed a victory in the UAE in nine starts but still looks best of Doug Watson’s pair though it’s Taamol, who has performed at a much higher level than this since arriving from Sir Michael Stoute’s yard, who looks more of a threat.
