Doug Watson saddles recent Sharjah winner Far Sky, who isn't well drawn in stall 13 and the stable could be better served by the consistent Mayaadeen, a track and trip winner on a very fair mark these days. Island Rule easily won a Jebel Ali maiden but was well beaten in a handicap back there so the vote goes to DISCOVERY ISLAND (NAP). Tadhg O'Shea completed a hat-trick here last week and his mount, who showed potential for Godolphin in the UK, has only been raised 3lb for an easy victory over 6f here a fortnight ago. Tabarak is a course and distance winner who made an encouraging reappearance here last month and should get into contention.
