Produced a career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Sharjah (6f) 12 days ago, going clear. Booking of De Sousa a plus. Fancied to go in again.

Latest win here in November and ran at least as well when good second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) 35 days ago. Should go well once more.

Course winner. Tongue strap on for 1st time, 4¾ lengths second of 13 to reopposing Welcome Dream in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, no match for winner. Hard to see him turning the tables on that rival.

Forecasts

Pen Portrait (9/4), Welcome Dream (3/1), Gamekeeper (7/2), Out From Under (8/1), Barq Al Emarat (9/1), Al Hadeer (16/1), Welleef (18/1), Dukedom (28/1), Tahdeed (28/1), Smart System (50/1), Miss Wintown (50/1)

Verdict

PEN PORTRAIT got well and truly back on the up when scoring in facile fashion at Sharjah recently and an 11 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Welcome Dream and Gamekeeper are considered the main threats.
