Stand Of Glory only ran four times for David Simcock, scoring at Thirsk in August of last year. He has a long absence to overcome and makes his debut on an artificial surface. Surge Ahead came out best of those who ran at Jebel Ali last Friday and can get into the frame while Parvaaz has been running consistently at Sharjah though is poorly drawn. OUZINKIE completed a hat-trick on Polytrack last autumn for Mick Channon and though doing little since transferring here this is a very low-grade affair and he can pop up at a nice price. Maltese Cat won over 7f here in February but was well beaten on his handicap debut two weeks later.
