Atta Alla attempted to make all over 7f at Jebel Ali last week but couldn't respond when headed and has a wide draw to overcome. Cape Of Eagles has shown a bit of potential though he didn't run well last time but Cranesbill performed with credit on his penultimate start on this track before a moderate effort at Al Ain. Fortune Writer finished well ahead of him in that latter event and is one of the few with scope while Dawwass produced his best run to date in a similar contest last time though he didn't find much at the business end after travelling nicely. Skyrider, who began with a decent fourth in a maiden that has worked out very well, didn't make the expected progress and has been given a break. SULTANAA looked a certain future winner when narrowly beaten in maidens at Newmarket and Doncaster early last summer and though never looking likely to catch Rayya on her debut here in December neither did anything else and she's expected to do better. Loyal Soldier showed potential in two starts in December but was beaten a long way in Group 3 company last month.
