Kifaah won two minor races in France but has shown nothing so far here and stablemate Liman has his first run here after winning minor races at Saint-Cloud and Deauville. Sixty Minutes hasn't had much racing but gained his third victory to date at Al Ain three weeks ago where he had CONFORM WITH FACT less than 2l back in second and the reappearing Festival City 3l behind. The runner-up was having just his fifth start that day and can improve enough to take this. Satwa Story returned to action after a very long break to land a 7f handicap in November and has subsequently run well in two handicaps over this trip. Ubetterbegood has his first start here since joining Doug Watson from Robert Cowell but may just need the run, his first since September. Daar Zayed made all for a comfortable victory over 7f on New Year's Eve while Hattaash scored here a year ago and will be better for his recent run but Dubai Iconic hasn't run for almost two years.
