In depth

Verdict

Most of these will improve including Shamran, who has twice finished behind the useful Zhou Storm in recent weeks. However, GRAND DUBAI finished strongly in the latter of those races and can reverse the form with Talo and Al Murqab looking held. Underwater Attack ran poorly at Kempton after a promising debut at Leicester and has been quickly shipped here. Fire Group was last of five at Jebel Ali.
