MUHTARAM was gaining his first ever victory with a smooth success here two weeks ago and as he's quite lightly raced should improve further and complete a quick double. Centrifugal looked certain to make a successful reappearance on that same card but was caught in the shadow of the post by Street Act. Maltese Cat, who was fourth, has a bit to find though may just have needed the run more that the runner-up, a remark that also applies to third-placed More Aspen. Grilletto won three times at Wolverhampton and produced his best UAE run to date when runner-up at Jebel Ali last month while Shihab came within a short-head of victory at Sharjah where he was headed on the line and is Richard Mullen's choice of his stable's trio.
