Desert Wisdom was the shock winner of this a year ago then proved it was no fluke with a superb run in the Godolphin mile. His two recent runs have been poor but he'll be primed for a repeat. He'd earlier been beaten a neck by Discovery Island but Tadhg O'Shea prefers Secret Ambition, who has plenty of winning form on the Dirt track here. He was beaten over two lengths by Fanaar in a Jebel Ali Grade 3 last month and the latter's yard hold a strong hand with Canvassed and EVERFAST also engaged. The former has really found his form and was scoring on that track for the third time this winter but the latter could have the edge having chased home his smart stablemate Prince Eiji here in January. William Buick picks up a nice spare on Royal Mews, unplaced a year ago but in much better form this campaign.
