The in-form Saleem bin Ghadayer has three entries in this tricky handicap and Pit Stop has been in good form though was beaten a long way into second last time. Stable companion Bois De Boulogne was beaten 13l by another from the yard, Aslan, at Jebel Ali but then returned there for an easy victory when the winner was beaten a very long way so the trio are difficult to weigh up. SAY NO MORE, just touched off over 7f here, stepped up to an extended mile at Sharjah and won easily. He's capable of further progress but so is Therthaar, who has had six start on the all-weather tracks in the UK and won five of them.
