Although Mutual Force ran really well when third to Paschendale a couple of weeks ago, he's never won on the track and has had plenty of opportunities. Touch Gold has been running well at Jebel Ali but has a poor record here and though Count Paris is generally thereabouts he doesn't win often enough and was behind Tamarrud last time. The latter was staying on strongly over 7f that day having won over this trip in November so should give Kieren Fallon a good ride. TAHADEE had some promising form in maidens for Mick Channon and though making his all-weather debut that's never a problem for one of Mike De Kock's and he can start off with a victory. After showing potential in maidens last summer, Saeed Bin Suroor's Istikshaf was well beaten when long odds-on at Yarmouth in October and the stable may have a better chance with the lightly-raced Mountain Lion. Daar Rashid is still a maiden and has run his best races at Jebel Ali.
