PRINCE D'ALIENOR ended last season with a victory at Longchamp and caught the eye when making his debut here last month, running on nicely behind Iguazu Falls when the race was all over. That should have put him right for this and he looks destined for better. Anaerobio has taken time to acclimatise since arriving from Argentina but made massive progress to chase home stablemate Mutahadee last week and looks certain to get involved. Start Right has produced two fine efforts following a long break and must be on the short-list but Frankie chooses Nationalism, who has done well in a couple of strong handicaps recently and must be expected to fare better. Jardim has won in Brazil and the USA and had a pipe-opener here two weeks ago while Sharaayeen and Zain Shamardal are in good form having fought out a finish at Jebel Ali last week.
