Verdict

AL YATEEM (1) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1 ?m at Sakhir Inner on April 10. Should be in the finish, especially if the money comes for him. ISTANBUL (9) is resuming from a spell of ten months and having his first run for the D & C Kubler yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 7f. He is a definite winning chance in this line-up. MEAAD (12) missed the placings on debut two starts back, then ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 6f. He must continue to raise the bar, but a big run is on the cards. BAIRAQ (2) ran below expectations last start, finishing well back over 1 ?m. He is worth another chance.
