Bhupat Seemar has six entries and on the assumption that Tadhg O'Shea would have had first pick Deshi Girl, who took a big leap in distance when staying on over this trip at Abu Dhabi, should prove best of the sextet despite stablemate Bozan having finished in front of her. Fawzi Nass has four entries and RUNAHOLIC looks the one to beat. Runner-up in his last three starts for George Scott in the UK, he missed the break on his debut over that trip here a fortnight ago but ran on strongly and can finally get off the mark. Deep Thoughts had shown some potential in the UK but didn't take to Dirt in the 1000 Guineas Trial here and is expected to do much better.
