The key form guide is the C&D handicap in which Cats By Five notched a first UAE success when beating Shadwell pair Danyah and SAHALAT. However, it's the last-named who is taken to come out on top given he shaped as though retaining a good chunk of his ability on his UAE/stable debut on his first run for nearly 450 days. He's been given four weeks to get over those exertions, he gets headgear and he's likely capable of better. Lahfaty looks best of the remainder. [Richard Young]
