Verdict

LAYLA DE LAGARDE (7) returned with a strong third at Abu Dhabi over 1 ?m and now drops into a much easier race, making her one of the key chances. LUBNA (12) has shown promise in both starts to date, finishing third again last time over 7f here, and with her early speed, she should land in a handy spot and give a big sight. ABBAB (1) took a good step forward at his second start when runner-up over 1m here, and with the drop in class, he looks very hard to beat. NAMRUD AL GHARBIA (13) debuts after a quiet trial and may need the experience, but any market support would be a good lead.
