In depth

Verdict

Dairam was a short-priced favourite to complete a hat-trick at Jebel Ali in March but was beaten narrowly by Speedy Move, who was receiving 3lb. Today's weights favour the former though neither has won on the track. Ajraam won this last year and scored again over an extra furlong in January. He didn't do as well at Jebel Ali later but this is his track. USA import Fitzgerald was tried over longer trips after arriving here and should do better back in sprints as should the former William Haggas inmate ROOSSEY, who was placed in decent company last winter and looks the type to win races over the winter starting here. Time Flies won a Chelmsford maiden for John Gosden last September.
