The first race on Turf of the new season. COLOUR IMAGE went up 12lb after finishing a close fourth in a Listed contest here in February but went back to the UK and easily landed a novices' event at Bath in September. He looks on a fair mark for his handicap debut. Cape Cavalli won a Class 4 York handicap though was well beaten when stepped up in grade later but Boerhan, a debut winner for William Haggas, completed an Abu Dhabi double when landing a Listed contest last month. Gabr, formerly with Sir Michael Stoute, showed little here last year until landing a minor race at Jebel Ali in November while Casey Jones won here the same month and his two subsequent runs have been at Listed level. Sanad Libya has won twice from five starts, both on Dirt.
