      In depth

      Verdict

      Most of these will improve as they gain experience but there is reason to believe that both Al Watan and MR TRICK will be forward enough to do themselves justice. The former is a son of Dubawi out of a Brazilian Group 2 winner but may need a bit further. The latter gets the nod as he’s by Kodiac, though was sold for a knock-down 80,000gns as a yearling after costing 130,000gns as a foal. Majd Al Arab is also respected and Leto The First could outrun bigger odds.
