Race preview
Looks a strong race despite the small field. Upstart Crow ran up a sequence last year that was only halted in Group company. Already a three-time winner at a mile and suited by any ground, he looks a worthy favourite from a yard in red hot form. Abiyah Athbah has been a grand servant but needs firm and has a lot of weight to give away to younger rivals. Whilst Jameelaty looked promising on her return and is better off with Upstart Crow, the narrow preference is for stablemate MUTWAHHEJ ATHBAH. He emulated his dam by winning on debut and should be stronger this season. A good show today will see him back here in August for the UK Arabian Derby over 1m2f.
