In depth

Verdict

Quartier Francais progressed throughout the last campaign culminating in a victory at Jinma Lake in China. He never really got going on his reappearance three weeks ago but will be very much fitter this time. Mustahdaf won over 1m4f at Abu Dhabi in December and that trip appears to be his optimum but Doug Watson has a strong hand with Sheeba and MIGHTILY. The former pops up every now and then and though looking a bit high since scoring here in March should give a good account though it's the latter, a winner on heavy ground in France, who gets the nod after a fine run after a year's absence here two weeks ago. Sea Skimmer completed a double here and at Jebel Ali a year ago and though unsuccessful since made a promising comeback two weeks ago when he had Bois De Boulogne just behind.
