Verdict

AF SAMETAH (13) is open to improvement after finishing fifth on debut over 1m here on April 4, beaten 11 lengths. She needs to find plenty but should benefit from the experience. LAHEEB BAYNOUNAH (7) looks a top 4 player after finishing fifth on debut over 7f here, beaten just 3.5 lengths. He has scope to improve and can won't be far away. AF FASEL (2) returns from a 7-month break after finishing ninth over 6f at Jebel Ali. Freshness could help and he warrants serious consideration. SULTAN XMANSOR (11) resumes after six-and-a-half months off following an eighth over 1m here. He needs to lift on that effort, but has claims for the placings if ready to fire fresh.
