Verdict
Most of the top jockeys are involved in this heat of the Meydan Masters but few can be given realistic chances. Shemoli doesn't win very often but his stable is in good form while the lightly-raced Paschendale has Frankie in the saddle and has won here in the past. The likes of Furnace and Mutayaser have enough ability to take this if at their best but UPTOWN GUY could be the one to be on. Doug Watson's charge is no world-beater and showed reluctance on his final start for William Haggas at Epsom in August but his trainer will get the best out of him and this won't take much winning.
