| 2nd | 1 | 16 |
Generous Tipper (H)
First run since leaving Kenneth G. McPeek when well-beaten last of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race at this course (9.4f, 22/1) 42 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Easy to look elsewhere.

James Doyle | H Al Jehani | 5 | 62.1 kg |

| 7th | 2 | 13 |
Base Note (G)
[VT]
Won once at Jebel Ali from 3 runs last year. Creditable 1¾ lengths second of 16 to Saayedd in listed race (10/3) at that track (9.7f). Off 10 months. Has gone well fresh in the past.
|
Ross Coakley | S & E Crisford | 7 | 60.8 kg |

| 16th | 3 | 4 |
Reyenzi (G)
7/2, 6¼ lengths sixth of 7 to Purview in listed race at Cork (10.4f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 122 days. First run for yard after leaving John Patrick Murtagh. Isn't bred for dirt and passed over.
|
Bernardo Pinheiro | S Ghadayer | 4 | 60.3 kg |

50/1

| 8th | 4 | 2 |
Elyabri (H)
C&D winner. Respectable 8¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Heart of Honor in listed race (20/1) at this course (9.4f) 42 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

R Mullen | M Mheiri | 5 | 59.4 kg |

Tap Leader (H)
FAV
Career best when winning 15-runner local Grade 1 at Kazan (11.9f, soft) by 3 lengths from Red Head. Off 153 days. Best watched on UAE debut.

Antrim (G)
FAV
[P]
Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at this course (10.9f, 17/2) 14 days ago by 3¼ lengths from Valdivia, comfortably. An 8 Ib rise in the weights may not be enough to stop him going in again.

S H James | K R Burke | 4 | 58.1 kg |

| 9th | 7 | 1 |
Shepperton Lodge (H)
[TB1]
Two wins from 6 runs last year. 14¾ lengths eleventh of 16 to Antrim in handicap (11/1) at this course (10.9f) 14 days ago. Has left M. Al Mheiri. Not taken lightly on first start for powerful yard.
|
K Shoemark | B Seemar | 5 | 55.8 kg |

22/1
|
| 15th | 8 | 10 |
Ocean Viking (G)
[T]
Career best when winning 15-runner handicap (8/1) at Meydan (9.4f, good) 21 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

| 11th | 9 | 7 |
Go Soldier Go (G)
Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 7½ lengths fourth of 16 to Antrim in handicap at this course (10.9f, 14/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Habitual slow starter but has dropped to a handy mark.
|
A de Vries | F Nass | 6 | 54.9 kg |

| 14th | 10 | 6 |
Laman Edelveys (G)
[T]
First run since leaving Sergey G. Kolesnikov when eighth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to step up on recent UAE debut.

T P O'Shea | B Seemar | 6 | 54.9 kg |

33/1
|
| 12th | 11 | 3 |
Moon Blade (G)
Course winner. Twelfth of 16 in handicap (25/1) at this course (8f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and type to bounce back.
|
S De Sousa | M Baidhaei | 4 | 54.4 kg |

| 5th | 12 | 14 |
City Of Delight (G)
Two wins from 5 runs last year. Below form 13½ lengths tenth of 16 to Antrim in handicap (12/1) at this course (10.9f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration but hasn't been done any favours by the draw once more.
|
Ray Dawson | D Menuisier | 5 | 54 kg |

| 6th | 13 | 8 |
Run With It (G)
[H1]
Three wins from 8 runs last year. First run since leaving Ralph Beckett when seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Jebel Ali (9.7f) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Sandro Paiva | K Almarri | 4 | 53.1 kg |
