Russian Soul and Balmont Mast lock horns again in the Group Three Al Shindagha Sprint at Meydan today.

Mick Halford's Russian Soul finished second in the Dubawi Stakes on his comeback, two places ahead of his Eddie Lynam-trained compatriot.

He will be partnered by Shane Foley, who said: "That was a good return from him four weeks ago and all ours have been running well but improving for the run.

"We would have preferred a lower draw (than 13) but hopefully, with a bit of luck, we will be there or thereabouts at the finish."

Balmont Mast's jockey William Buick said: "These conditions really suit him and that was a good comeback. It looks a good renewal but at least we have a decent low draw (four)."
