Verdict
Alazeyab is a useful performer at this level around here and competed in Group company earlier in the year. He had just a head to spare over Qamar on the Dirt at Jebel Ali in March and the runner-up must be a major threat with a 1lb pull. GOLDEN SHAHEEN, a winner for Mark Johnston and Saeed Bin Suroor in the UK including on Polytrack, was conceding 4lb to Qamar when just a length behind over the C&D in March and has a big pull in the weights so should be good enough if fit after a break. League Champion, who was just behind that day, looks held. Taqdeyr made a fair comeback after exactly a year off at Jebel Ali on Friday and this former Michael Jarvis-trained winner has mainly competed at a high level in the UAE and should go well.
