Presvis set for first run since Royal Ascot ninth

The turf highlight of Meydan's third Carnival meeting this Thursday, Presvis is set to have his first run for seven months in the Group 2 Al Rashidiya.

The seven-year-old has not run since Royal Ascot and assistant trainer Charlie Henson said: "The intention is that he runs on Thursday and hopefully Ryan Moore rides him. He has been off a long time now and is sure to improve from the run but he is looks in good shape and enjoys his time in Dubai."

Steele Tango who already won a course and distance this season,is likely to be in opposition.

The Mike de Kock-trained Irish Flame will have to give weight all round if allowed to take his chance, while Kingsfort would be a big threat for Saeed Bin Suroor, who has won the feature race at both the first two Carnival meetings.

Royal Ascot is the target for Star Witness

At two and three,Australia: Star Witness, already a Group top winner,already a Group 1 winner.

When taking the Coolmore Stud Stakes over 6f,The son of Starcraft, last year's Blue Diamond Stakes winner, recorded another Group 1 success.

Before being given a break he followed that run with a game second behind top mare Black Caviar in the Patinack Farm Classic.

Star Witness is now only weeks away from resuming where he will kick off in a Listed race at Caulfield in early February before the Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes a fortnight later.
