BADRAN (10) has not appeared since he scored over 1200m at Riyadh Dirt on January 23. Likely to be in the finish. BARQ ALDHALAM (11) resumes from a spell of six months and is having his first outing under new trainer Na Almindeel. Finished sixth at Riyadh Dirt over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. ALMOTAYAB (1) won at this track and distance at his last outing a year ago, the only appearance of that campaign. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Abdulaziz Alharbi. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. SHAYEKH (6) is back at the races for the first time since February 13. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Has to be respected.
