In depth
Verdict
Mudallel ran well at Sharjah last time and has dropped to a winnable mark though UNTOLD SECRET, who was just over a length back in fourth, has since run well at Jebel Ali and is taken to reverse the form and land this. Welsh Lord landed a track and trip handicap in November and made a bold bid to defy a 5lb rise a month later while the lightly-raced Miller's House won a maiden here with the minimum of fuss early last month. Secret Trade has won around here but is better at Al Ain while stablemate Karnavaal, a winner for Sir Michael Stoute, was going on strongly at the finish over a mile at Abu Dhabi last time.
