Verdict

It's a very long time since nine-times winner DUTCH MASTERPIECE (NAP) raced in this lowly grade. He's been mixing it in much tougher company and the drop in class and ratings can see him back in the winner's enclosure. Legendary Lunch, twice a winner for Richard Hannon, made a promising reappearance over this track and trip before scoring easily at Abu Dhabi though a 9lb rise makes this tougher. Shajjy was staying on strongly over the minimum at Jebel Ali so the extra will suit while Ebjaar pops up occasionally at this level and shouldn't be dismissed. Thammin won three times for Owen Burrows but hasn't run since October so could just need this.
