11.30 Meydan (Dubai Kahayla Classic) – Suny Du Loup

It’s a very good spare ride to pick up this in the Arabian race. This horse won at Meydan last time out and course form is very important. The dirt here is unique so if a horse has won on this surface, it’s a huge positive.

He has been given an excellent draw in stall one. The two Saudi Arabian horses (Asfan Al Khalediah and Tilal Al Khalediah) are very good and could be hard to beat. But I think my horse is going to run well and it is a great race to be involved in.  

12.40 Meydan (Dubai Gold Cup) – Sea Stone

He ran a brilliant race last time out in the Nad Al Sheba Trophy, finishing second to Siskany. Nothing went right in that contest for us, but he was able to run on for the runner-up spot. I think he is a huge price here in the betting. I am not saying he is going to go win, but he can certainly outrun his odds.

I rode Tower Of London in the St Leger last year and he is getting weight from his elders. Trawlerman is a good horse. Eldar Eldarov is a St Leger and Irish St Leger winner who I think you really must respect. It is a race that has a lot of depth to it.

1.15 Meydan (Al Quoz Sprint) – Danyah
