Verdict

AF MUKHAWWAL (5) is a entire by Af Al Buraq out of Muniza on debut. Looks ready after placing in a recent Jebel Ali trial. Looks set for a bright start to his career. MON AMI HIPOLYTE (11) is a entire by Al Mourtajez out of Houadima Des Sables on debut. Fitter for a recent trial. Keep an eye on betting moves. KHATTA'AB (8) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at Al Ain. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ZAWAN DE MIREVAL (14) was well fancied last time out but could only manage sixth over 1 ?m at Al Ain on February 1. Should be prominent from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
