Road Bloc (G)
[B]
9/1, won 11-runner handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. A repeat of that should see him bang there.

Course winner. 15/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Jebel Ali (5f) 20 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Arigatou Gozaimasu (F)
[TB1]
Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Something to find on recent form.

Don Pacifico (G)
[T]
Creditable fourth of 9 in handicap (13/8) at Chelmsford City (6f) 50 days ago. Interesting raider for trainer who does well here, though dirt is the obvious question mark (some hope on pedigree).

First run since leaving Robert Cowell when creditable second of 10 in handicap (9/4) at Jebel Ali (5f) 34 days ago. Has good chance if translating that form to Meydan.
