Dark Saffron (G)
[T1V]
Smart gelding. 4-time C&D winner, including last year's Dubai Golden Shaheen. Made successful return in minor event but has finished down the field the last twice. Has a bit to prove now.

Drew's Gold (G)
[BT]
Smart gelding. First run since leaving Julio Olascoaga and 11/2, ran up to best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 42 days ago, despite a wide trip. Can give a good account back up in grade.

Smart gelding. 3-time C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner minor event at Sharjah (6f) 5 days ago. This is a deeper contest.
