Formscan - Second on his French debut in 2022, AL GHADEER (2) has not tasted defeat since. Winner of this race 12 months ago, he may not have been seen out in France since but will have been carefully-prepared for this by his talented handler and will be a tough nut to crack. AL DOHA (10) one of 4 Thomas Fourcy-trained runners here, ran 3rd in the Amir Sword, has since won another Gr.1 here, and looks the main danger. Stablemate NOUR AL MAURY (9) is on a Gr.1 3-timer but may have to settle for a podium place this time around. Third in the 2023 edition, CH'EZZA (5) was by no means taxed when securing a Gr.1 over course and distance 3 weeks ago, and will be similarly competitive.
