Verdict

ROYAL SCIMITAR (2) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1m. Same jockey stays aboard and appeals as a top chance again. BYLINE (1) returns from a layoff of seven months. Scored over 1m at this track at the start of last prep. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on four occasions from seven starts. Has switched to the D & C Kubler yard. Rates highly and should take some beating. RAWYAAN (7) was an impressive first-up winner last time out in an easier race over 7f at Sakhir Inner, getting home by 2.25 lengths. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the leading chances. JUANTORENA (3) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time, but could only manage eighth over 1m at this track. Fitter and worth another chance, so follow your money.
