Verdict

ALZAHIR (1) is a top-quality six-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the D & C Kubler stable. He finished off his last campaign with a win in Listed grade at Chantilly three-and-a-half months ago. The French form always stacks up nicely in the Middle East, and he can make a bright start to his local career with a fresh up win. CHANDIGAH (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 6f at this track. That continued the very strong form of this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Big chance once again. DEVASTE (8) has put together a couple of wins at this track, the latest on November 27 over 6f when he got home by more than 2 lengths. He is taking on a better field, but he is good enough to figure in the finish. KENDALL ROY (11) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 5f, getting home by half a length. That was his first local start, and he has the scope to go on with it now.
