In depth

Verdict

Rua Augusta won over a mile here a fortnight ago and has never raced over a trip this far while Gavroche is much better at Jebel Ali. BRASS RING hasn't had much racing for his age and was returning from a long break when scoring over this trip at Abu Dhabi last month, when Empoli and Farrier were behind. He's generally competed at a much higher level than this and can start making up for lost time by completing a double. Skygazer has won three of his last five though he's never won around here and has had plenty of chances and though Muqaatil was in good form at the end of last season, scoring at Abu Dhabi, that was over 7f.
