Verdict

Ahlaain disappointed when favourite here a month ago but produced a very good effort previously and ran in strong company at last year's Carnival. Manjakani ran is Listed company in France last summer and would be a threat if taking to the surface while Monte Alto found 1m6f way beyond him last time and is better than that. Honour System took a couple of races to warm up here last year and Dr Faustus has run poorly twice here this season. LYSSIO, twice placed in Listed company in Germany last summer, has his first start in Dubai but gets the vote as he warmed up with a decent run behind Tinshu in a Listed event at Lingfield last month and his rider James Doyle has been in cracking form in Dubai this winter.
