In depth

Verdict

This is a non-carnival race and Doug Watson has five entries. DEHBASHI as an excellent record around here and bounced back to form with a very good effort at Jebel Ali a couple of weeks ago under Pat Dobbs so he gets the vote. However, the jockey has struck with Galvanize, though he ran so poorly here a fortnight ago that it can't have been his form and he's better judged on his earlier efforts. Sea Skimmer finished runner-up in that latter event with Mazeed third and there's no real reason for a form reversal and though Ormindo runs the track well he's better over slightly further. Bois De Boulogne won over the trip at Jebel Ali then found 1m3f taxing his stamina under 8lb extra here two weeks ago and should get into the action from the bottom of the handicap.
