In depth

Verdict

Double Dealer hasn't won since Goodwood in 2010, his only victory, and didn't show much on his reappearance a fortnight ago. Kifaah has no real form at this level though he did land a minor handicap on the Dirt at Sharjah earlier this month when Mizwaaj was well behind. Special Boy's victory in April was at Jimma Lake in China, when Albayan was behind and that was a better race than this but it's SULLIVAN STREET, who was in the lead at this trip before fading when tackling 7f here two weeks ago, who is handed the vote. Intense Effort, who wasn't far behind him here in February and is better off at the weights, could provide the main threat.
