Expert Analysis by Ed Marnane

Several to consider in a wide-open race. Luca Cumani’s Presvis, twice a winner over the course and distance, appeals if getting a strong pace, which is required for him to be at his best. He is closely matched with Wigmore Hall when they clashed in the Jebel Hatta, the traditional prep, earlier in the month.

On that occasion, Wigmore Hall, the Michael Bell-trained gelding ran on strongly to snatch the prize, defeating Group 1 winner Poet’s Voice and Cumani’s gelding in an exciting three-way photo finish. Arguably the winner is open to more improvement in terms of fitness, it was his first start since running a creditable fifth in the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket last October.

The principal local hope is Derbaas, representing last year’s winning yard, ticks plenty of boxes and is feared. He has thrived this winter in Dubai, winning four times including the Al Fahidi Fort, a Group 2 event on turf, where the runner-up Raihana re-opposes. The De Kock-trained filly, second in last year’s UAE Derby, is one of two runners representing the South African maestro who has won this race twice. His second runner River Jetez has stronger claims, having caught the eye when winning the Balanchine Stakes, slamming Reem and ten others, over the same course and distance.

The highly-progressive Beauty Flash, unbeaten in his last three starts, carries the hopes of Hong Kong. The step up to 1800m doesn’t look ideal, while it is slightly disconcerting that he failed to deliver in his sole international foray, the Yasuda Kinen.

Selections: Presvis, Wigmore Hall, Derbaas, River Jetez
