Formscan - Real Gain has won at this track before and is beginning to look well treated again, while Esherann singed off his 2025 campaign with a win at the Curragh and is another to consider closely ahead of his stable debut/seasonal return. GREAT CHIEFTAIN has had a couple of runs at Meydan this year though and the C&D winner might be able to show the benefit of that.
