Verdict

Four entries plus the reserve for Doug Watson with Pharoah King looking the pick on his hat-trick bid. A winner at Al Ain in January, he then beat Book Review with a bit in hand at Jebel Ali and is better off with the latter, who boosted the form with a very easy victory at Al Ain. Twelfthofneverland completed a double in minor handicaps and was by no means outclassed in a Carnival handicap next time while Bright Star, an impressive debut winner in January, was headed on the line in a much better race last month and looks certain to go well. His yard also run REAL WORLD, an easy Chelmsford winner in October who looks ready to gain his first success here after a fine effort in a Listed handicap over the track and trip last month. Saqqara King, a winner at Newmarket, is another for Godolphin and he led for a long way on his debut over 1m4f here early last month.
