        Verdict

        Cachao is only a pound higher than his last wining mark though his best form is at a mile. Sea Skimmer shot up the weights after completing a double in his first two UAE starts but has now dropped to a winnable mark. Arch Gold, a winner over this trip at Jebel Ali in November, ran well over an extra furlong last month and will be staying on when others have cried enough. HUCKLEBUCK looked a likely future winner when twice narrowly beaten then pulled much too hard last time. In the hope he can settle better, he gets the vote though he's very closely matched with Powderhouse on their 1-2 in December. The latter's yard also have a chance with Sheeba, who was hit with a 12lb rise after a demolition job here in March but has gradually dropped to the same mark.
