Verdict

Singapore-based Steven Burridge has made a flying start in Dubai and though this is tougher than the race Dark Matter won on Tapeta here two weeks ago he had a bit in hand and has claims of a quick double. TIME PRISONER was acquired from Andre Fabre by Godolphin and was an impressive winner over Regal Parade at the opening Carnival fixture. That form can be confirmed and he can go in again. Albaasil won twice over a mile for Sir Michael Stoute last summer and ended the campaign with a cracking effort when just failing to concede weight to Rave at Ascot in July. He could be a blot on this handicap and his new yard have been in superb form. The veteran Swop has run very well in better company here in the past so his moderate reappearance effort a couple of weeks ago shouldn't be too much of a concern and Redemptor, a Listed winner in France, is another to keep an eye on.
