Lord North³⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 119| BF| CD

5/1

Seeking a remarkable fourth win in this race and reappearance second in the Winter Derby at Southwell (11f) last month was good enough to think this 8-y-o still retains his ability. Unlikely to give up his crown without a fight.

Form: 454/11-2

Measured Time⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 116| CD

4/1

Very smart colt who took his career record to 5-6 when proving 1¾ lengths too strong for Ottoman Fleet in Group 1 Jebel Hatta over C&D in January. A bold bid looks likely.

Form: 11121-1

(2)

Real World^p,t²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 110| C| D

33/1

Course winner. Didn't need to be at best when winning 12-runner listed race at Sakhir (1m, good) 22 days ago by 2½ lengths from Wowzers, easily. Has a fair bit to find on recent form.

Form: 45-6631

Nashwa¹⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 120

13/2

Very smart mare. 5/1, below form when sixth of 11 to Big Rock in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot (1m, soft) in October but had enjoyed a good year prior to that, including a win Group 1 Falmouth. Player if the outside stall isn't too big an inconvenience.

Measured Time (4/1), Do Deuce (5/1), Lord North (5/1), Luxembourg (5/1), Nashwa (13/2), Voyage Bubble (7/1), Danon Beluga (12/1), Facteur Cheval (22/1), Namur (22/1), Real World (33/1), Cairo (40/1), Straight Arron (66/1), San Donato (66/1), Matenro Sky (66/1), Calif (100/1), Catnip (100/1)

DO DEUCE backed up his good fourth in the Japan Cup with a Group 1 win in December and can take this prize back to the Far East. Godolphin's Measured Time was a comfortable winner of the Jebel Hatta over C&D in January and is second choice ahead of 8-y-o Lord North, who is bidding for a fourth success in this race.
