Verdict

Doug Watson saddles three here with Andrea Atzeni on board One Idea, as he was when the five-year-old easily beat Lake Causeway last month though a 9lb rise makes this more difficult. Nibraas beat Lake Causeway to lose his maiden tag over 7f at Abu Dhabi and tackles the trip for the first time when TAHDEED was two lengths behind. However, the latter stepped up on that when scoring over this trip here a few days later and is progressing fast enough to complete a double. Mudaarab has performed in better company but needs further.
