Verdict

The in-form Salem bin Ghadayer has four entries with Royston Ffrench, who rode all of the stable's three winners at Jebel Ali on Friday, on board CLAIM THE ROSES, runner-up to his classier stable companion Frankyfourfingers on that card. Four times a winner for Ed Vaughan, the seven-year-old can prove best of his trainer's quartet and go one better. Doug Watson is double represented and both look to have chances. Thegreatcollection won his first two races on Dirt in the USA and has steadily improved around here culminating in a comfortable victory over 7f in November. He'd earlier finished 3l behind stable companion Galvanize over this track and trip but a 4lb pull should enable him to reverse the form. Satish Seemar has three runners and Secret Ambition, who carried a big weight to victory over 7f last month, looks best of the trio.
