Satish Seemar has no less than five entries and Galesburg looks the pick after recent victories at Abu Dhabi and Jebel Ali. He has an 8lb rise to contend with after a demolition job in his last race but that unlikely to prevent another big run. He's improved out of all recognition since beaten 5l behind Farook in December though the winner has continued in decent form and wasn't disgraced in Listed company last time. Shajjy won three times in France early last year but Pirate's Cove has run poorly since his victory over the course and distance in January. Big Time has a poor strike-rate but will appreciate the drop in class though a chance is taken with EJBAAR. Not the most consistent, he would have a chance second to none on his narrow defeat by Ejaaby over the track and trip before finding an extra furlong against him next time.
