Doug Watson has four of the 10 entries. Bottle Rocket Man has a victory on Dirt over this trip in the USA to his credit but has an absence to overcome unlike his stablemates. Cosmo Kramer easily landed a Sharjah handicap over the trip while Dangerous Thought was beaten a neck at Jebel Ali a fortnight ago. Quiet Endeavour is massively better off for a narrow defeat by Rich And Famous here early last month but was easily brushed aside when the winner followed up a couple of weeks later where TANEEN ran very well to be second on his first start since April - he can turn the tables on better terms.
