Ryan Moore: Rides Kilt Rock
"Kilt Rock started this season with a Timeform rating of 78. He is now up to 117 after a remarkable sequence that has seen him win 4 handicaps and finish second in a minor event last time."
Timeform take a look at the runners for a very competitive five-furlong minor event at Jebel Ali on Friday...
Mujaazef started this season on fire with 3 straight wins, also running well when second to Alo Pura. Not quite in the same form recently but still one of the more likelier candidates at these weights.
Moonreach was a useful performer for Paul Deegan in Ireland, his sole success in 2011 coming in a minor event at Dundalk. Faces a stiff task on these terms on first start for new yard.
Rock Jock is a carnival regular and won listed race at Chester in 2011 for Tracey Collins. Has virtually refused on 2 of his 3 starts this year and impossible to fancy.
Fityaan was progressive for Barry Hills in 2011, and a couple of good efforts for this yard when runner-up in handicaps at Abu Dhabi. This far harder and expected to struggle.
Forjatt progressed well for Roger Varian last year, running his best race when second in a handicap at Newmarket. Just as good for this yard, but ground to make up with Kilt Rock on latest running.
Kilt Rock has really thrived this season, winning 4 handicaps and excelling himself when second to Kanaf in a minor event last time. No reason why that should flatter him and looks the one to beat here.
League Champion hasn't won for a while and still to prove he retains much ability having finishing well held on his 4 completed starts this season. Others readily preferred.
Murbeh was winless in 2011 for Brian Meehan but was progressive and could have rectified that on final start had he not unseated approaching final 1f. Hasn't really threatened for this yard, however.
Ritual was lightly raced for Jeremy Noseda, winning 4 of his 7 starts. Seemed to go off the boil towards the end of last year and faces a stiff task on first outing for new yard.
Russian Rock has looked held in minor events this season before routing his field in a handicap in December. Struggled off higher marks subsequently but will find this more to his liking so respected.
Star Crowned was smart in his prime but looked a shadow of that in 2011 and has something to prove having not been seen for a year.
Suited and Booted was inconsistent for Richard Hannon and Jane Chapple-Hyam last season, running his best race when fourth in a handicap at Kempton. That form leaves him with something to find at this level.
Take Your Partner was progressive early in 2011 for Kevin Ryan, winning 4 times on the AW. Well held on turf after and showed little ackowledging he faced a stiff task on debut for this yard. Remains best watched.
Terrific Challenge produced good efforts first 2 starts this season when placed in similar events at this track. Beaten fair and square by Kilt Rock more recently and no reason why he should reverse form.
Amica won on her debut back in 2010, and highly tried subsequently, contesting the UAE 1000 Guineas and Oaks last season. Duly came up short and plenty to prove even at this level.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Kilt Rock
2. Russian Rock
3. Mujaazef
Timeform View: Kilt Rock started this season with a Timeform rating of 78. He is now up to 117 after a remarkable sequence that has seen him win 4 handicaps and finish second in a minor event last time, a reproduction of which gives him leading claims in this. Russian Rock and Mujaazef can chase him home.
