In depth

Verdict

Muqaatil, who has never won on Dirt, has recorded a hat-trick since reverting to Turf including over the track and trip in January when just touching off today's rival Doublet, who is 1lb better off. The latter was earlier a long way behind Rio Tigre over 1m2f and appears unlikely to reverse the form. Aridity and Gavroche have beaten each other at Jebel Ali in the past couple of weeks but the vote goes to JAMESIAN, a winner on Turf at Abu Dhabi before twice leading at this trip at Al Ain until caught over the extra 2f by the in-form Secret Trade. Empoli has been slowly dropping in the weights but hasn't been in the best of form.
