In depth
Verdict
Juthoor did all of his racing in the UK on Turf, winning at Thirsk in August, but MAZEED was going on strongly at the finish over 7f on the Dirt track two weeks ago and is better over this trip. He had Robin Weathers behind and should confirm the form. Illusional attempted to make all at Jebel Ali last time but was soon beaten though that was only his second run here and he should do better. General Line was in good form at this time a year ago though hasn't run since March but Sea Skimmer hasn't fulfilled early promise and Still Life does better over further.
