        In depth

        Verdict

        Shamlaan won five times in the UK, all over the minimum, and looks his stable's pick with Tadhg O'Shea on board. At the opposite end of the handicap Royal Commando, a Listed winner over this trip at Doncaster, should be spot-on after staying on strongly over 5f at Jebel Ali, his first start on Dirt. COLOUR UP won a couple of minor races in December before headed close home in a better race over the track and trip last month and has the scope to do better. King Gold, four times a winner in France, led at this trip before being swallowed up inside the final furlong when tackling 7f on Dirt here last month and Get Back Goldie won here a year ago before racing in top company and will be better for his run over a mile three weeks ago.
