His home-bred Shirl's Bee is currently favourite in the UK market at 7/4, with Doug Watson doing the saddling and Pat Dobbs the riding.  Shirl's Bee is by Bee Jersey and should be suited by the 1000m turf, a prelude to the Al Quoz.

Also in the market is Tiger Nation by Tamakurz who is 2/2 for bin Ghadayer and Barzalona, and Tall Boy by Lookin' at Lucky is still a maiden and comes in here at 4/1, with Will Buick doing the riding for Doug O'Neill.

The G2 Blue Point Strip has a "made in Godolphin" look about it with the Appleby-trained pair of Lazuli and Man of Promise on 3/2 and 3/1 respectively.  One of the locals we have heard good reports about is Khuzaam on 10/1 for Doug Watson and Dane O'Neill – worth a bit of e/w.

On the Sunday Meydan card Michael Costa has 5 runners including Waathing in the feature Fazaa Gold Handicap.
