Gamestars (G)
Creditable ½-length second of 8 to Golden Call in listed race at Craon (11.9f, soft, 17/10). Off 6 months and first run for yard after leaving A. Fabre. Headgear left off. Has work to do at the weights.

Flying Honours (G)
Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, respectable 11 lengths fifth of 9 to Meydaan in Al Maktoum Classic at this course (9.9f) 6 days ago. Wasn't beaten far when last seen in a handicap.

Arlan (C)
Latest win at Jebel Ali in January. 11/4, very good short-head second of 11 to Killer Collect in listed race there (9.7f) 19 days ago. In good form of late and has to be taken seriously.

Base Note (G)
[TV]
One win from 3 runs last year, in handicap at Jebel Ali. Bit below form 6 lengths fifth of 11 to Killer Collect in listed race there (9.7f, 28/1) 19 days ago. Not taken lightly on pick of efforts but needs to step up on runs this season.

Claymore (G)
Good effort when second here in January. Seventh of 13 in handicap also here (9.4f, good, 12/1) 14 days ago. Makes belated dirt debut and makes limited appeal on pedigree.

Elyabri (H)
Course winner. 8/1, well-beaten last of 11 to Killer Collect in listed race at Jebel Ali (9.7f) 19 days ago. Back in a handicap and has a good chance on pick of form.

Valdivia (H)
[P]
Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this course (9.9f, 22/1) 21 days ago. Is on a career-high mark and may find a few too good.

Go Soldier Go (G)

Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 16 in handicap (18/1) at this course (9.9f) 35 days ago. Others more persuasive.
