UDODODONTU (NAP) has been raised 8lb for a very convincing victory here a month ago but could easily have gone up further and looks a Group horse in the making. He should have few problems following up despite facing a big field. Godolphin also run Flash Fire, who has run two good races in high level handicaps, and Carry On Deryck, who wasn't far behind the selection in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot. Zarwaan was a smart handicapper for Ed Dunlop and will be better for his run behind Safety Catch in the Group 2 Al Fahidi Fort. Marco Botti's Moohaarib is much better than he's shown in two runs on the track and should be acclimatised now.
