ROYAL FAVOUR (1) returns in a suitable assignment after finishing third in a similar race at his only run last prep. He will be a lot stronger this season, and maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position. Oisin Murphy is one of the best hoops in the business, and he will give this gelding every chance to win fresh up. SIROCCO WINDS (4) is a very progressive gelding resuming after 8 months away. He made an immediate impression last campaign with a debut win over 1400m at Jebel Ali, and this season, he looks capable of going right through the grades. BROTHERLY LOVE (2) hasn't raced since finishing fourth in the G2 UAE Derby over 1900m here in March. That is solid form for this company and he warrants plenty of respect. GUN CARRIAGE (3) returned with a third at Goodwood over 1609m, and he will be spot-on for his return to the Middle East. A good draw, makes him a solid top 4 hope again.
