Nad Al Sheba 3.45 ASIATIC BOY, Stepping up in trip but wasn’t stopping last time, a drop in class here & has his regular jockey back on board. Stable are flying & boast by far the best recent form from anything else in the race. He should actually be a qualifier on the So Clear, thread but I’m not altogether sure about Dubai qualifiers, as yet.
Ling 5.00 Marbaa, EW looks interesting. His two placed efforts on the AW have been within his last three runs over CD & last time was after an almost 7 week lay-off, so could strip fitter today. Last time also though was behind our listed Challis & Soldiers Quest & I was thinking that there may well be some well handicapped horses behind. Having since seen that Ladbrokes are offering 20/1, well, I'm into it.... So:
3.45, Nad Al Sheba, ASIATIC BOY, WIN
5.00, Ling(AW) Marbaa, EW
