Verboten tackles the trip for the first time but ran on strongly to lead close home over a mile on Jebel Ali's stiff track. Ajuste Fiscal looked in need of the run on his return to action and he's generally raced in much better class than this. Tell Me Thunder, a winner in Sweden, ran well on his second start here in February while Tapitution wasn't right when last of four at Jebel Ali after winning there earlier. EBNZAIDOON made a winning start for Doug Watson at Jebel Ali in February and was in need of last month's reappearance. He's the type to have improved over the summer and can get back on the winning trail. Anizzah is a consistent performer, though at a lower level.
