Verdict

Sir Fever is a very interesting recruit for Godolphin. Unbeaten in Uruguay, including numerous local Group 1s on Dirt, he could be anything. But MUBTAAHIJ had Ajwad five lengths behind when landing the UAE 2000 Guineas Trial and doubled that distance when only beaten a head by Maftool in the real thing last month - he's progressing nicely and looks the safest option. Tashbeeh arrived from Australia in winning form and with a big reputation. He started favourite for a Listed contest on the Turf track but never really got going and he's never raced on Dirt. Quarterback finished in front of him that day without threatening and has been beaten by the same horses subsequently.
