Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash (Class 2 Handicap)

Kendall Roy shaped well when third last time out, and a winner three starts back, with experience over today's trip and going working in his favour at a competitive 142 lb; the risk is that two unplaced efforts in his recent record hint at inconsistency.

Tuco Salamanca arrives on the back of an unplaced effort seven days ago, though he was a winner two starts back, and his rating of 100 leaves him mid-pack among these rivals; experience over today's trip and going helps, but that sixth three starts back suggests some inconsistency to overcome.

Fahrenheit Seven has run over today's trip and shown he can win, with back-to-back victories four and five starts back; however, two consecutive unplaced efforts in recent starts are a concern, and 42 days off adds a fitness query at 140 lb.

Bounced back to claim third two starts back after a below-par effort, and he has experience of today's distance and going — Fandom arrives fit on a seven-day turnaround and our rating of 104 marks him as a genuine threat; the risk is that last-time-out unplaced run needs forgetting quickly.

Winless in his last five starts and returning after 99 days off, Spartan Arrow nevertheless carries a rating of 106 from stall five and has experience of today's trip and conditions — the concern is whether this string of unplaced efforts signals a horse out of form.
