Libranno stamped himself as one of the leading early-season juveniles when winning his first 3 races last season, twice in Group 2 company. Not at his best in either start after, and has stamina to prove on return.
Ahlaain progressed well last year and carried that over when second in 2 listed races in Dubai. However, he was never involved in UAE Derby last time and looks up against it in this company.
Casual Glimpse is an imposing sort who took a big step forward when winning a 6f event in July in fine style. That said, he was disappointing in better races on his next 2 starts and stamina for this trip not assured.
Native Khan won a Newmarket maiden on debut and confirmed he was a smart prospect when taking a Group 3 at Sandown in August. Nothing wrong with his run in Racing Post Trophy, and capable of better yet.
Yahafedh Alaih bettered his one juvenile effort when fourth of 9 in Lingfield maiden last month. This level is likely to prove well beyond him, however.
Yaseer stayed on to claim second in a 1m Newbury maiden on his debut in October, and readily landed the odds at Kempton 2 months later. Entered in several top races, he's clearly expected to improve a lot more at 3 yrs.
Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Native Khan
2. Yaseer
3. Libranno
Timeform's View: Native Khan did very little wrong in his juvenile campaign and can make a winning return to action at the main expense of the promising Yaseer.
