Verdict

Al Shemali has never looked like repeating his shock Dubai Duty Free victory this season but drops into handicap company for the first time and a bold bid is expected. Dr Faustus returned to winning form here on Saturday but it was a poor event and he'll find this much tougher. After a fine debut run here in January, Here To Win was a disappointing favourite behind today's rival Lolamar on turf last month but reverted to Tapata with another good effort behind Famous Warrior subsequently. He looks certain to go well but this can go to SPRING OF FAME. Frankie Dettori's mount made a winning start here in January before an even better run behind the classy Bold Silvano last month and is looking well enough handicapped to return to winning ways.
