Verdict

RB AL QAAHER (8) looks the one to beat returning from a six-and-a-half-month break after finishing fifth in Group 3 company over 1 ?m here. That form makes him the one to beat in this. AF QARES (1) is an interesting import making his local debut for Ernst Oertel after finishing fifth over 1 ³/16m at La Teste De Buch 15 months ago. The long absence is a query, but his trainer will have him ready to rumble. SOWWAN (9) resumes after finishing fifth over 1 ?m here and has the figures to make his presence felt. He looks a top 4 contender if ready to fire fresh. MISTER VIALETTES (5) debuts for H Al Marar after finishing fourth over 1m first-up last campaign. The change of stable can help, and he deserves consideration.
