Ababil's two victories have been at Jebel Ali though he has a nice inside berth and will take some catching. However, DRUMMORE, who was around five lengths behind him last time, will be 7lb better off and was having his first start since January. Still an entire, he ran in much stronger company last winter and looks the one to beat. Raahy scored on his reappearance over 5f at Jebel Ali a year ago and has no problems with the extra furlong. Vasari has also only won on the latter track while it's a very long time since Quiet Endeavour completed a hat-trick for Archie Watson.
