Verdict

Few of these seem likely to run to their rating but One Idea showed promise at Beverley for the Crisfords and could prove best of Doug Watson's trio, though Jim Crowley's presence suggests better is expected from Falcon Claws. The stable's Royal Castle will be better for last month's run though a mark of 81 looks excessive while Zero To A Hundred has been looking as though a longer trip was required in three runs on Dirt. Arabian Moon was staying on over a mile at Jebel Ali while EMIRATES CURRENCY would have no trouble winning this on his run in a Listed race here last February. The latter has gone backwards but gets the nod in the hope of a return to form while Varsha would have a chance at her best with her allowance.
