Blue Mountain is top-rated here on the back of several fair efforts on Polytrack in the UK and he'll be better for his opening run in a handicap here two weeks ago. SON OF NORMANDY ran at that same fixture and produced a good run behind Al Battar, form that could be good enough for this. He had Harbour Dance, Loughmore, Terrain and Kanood behind and should confirm the form. Lady Snazz ran a bit better at Al Ain last month but was 4 lengths behind Off White and the latter is probably the main threat though his yard has yet to strike form.
