EXCEEDINGLY REGAL was having his first start on Turf since summer 2021 when beaten just a length at Abu Dhabi and can take this. Sadeedd rarely runs on Turf but has been going well on Dirt while State Event has been making progress and was beaten just a head at Abu Dhabi last time. Newcastle winner Chosen Mark's three victories in the UAE have been on Dirt and he easily holds King Of The Nite on a recent run at Jebel Ali.
