Amith Passela's Dubai World Cup predictions: 1. Thunder Snow 2. North America 3 Yoshida. AFP

Gunnevera: Finished behind Seeking The Soul and Audible in the Grade 1 Pegasus World Cup on a sloppy surface at the Gulfstream Park in his last start in January. Getty Images

Capezzano: Is in the form of his life having won three races on the trot, including his victory over Thunder Snow by more than nine lengths in the Prep race. Erika Rasmussen for The National

North America: Is on the back of two impressive victories and a Gate 3 draw. If he can get his familiar rail position, will be hard to overtake. Victor Besa/The National

Audible: His most recent start in the Pegasus World Cup wasn’t encouraging but has claims if allowed to have his own way. Rex

Seeking The Soul: His last run was of note when finishing second behind City Of Lights in the Pegasus World Cup. Can run a big race. Rex

Pavel: Fourth in the race 12 months ago and no reason why he shouldn’t give another good account. Getty Images

Gronkowski: Should come from his first start when finishing fifth behind Capezzano in his first start at Meydan. Open to progress. Rex

Axelrod: Wasn’t 100 per cent on his first start at Meydan but will strip fitter for his second start. Alamy

New Trails: Signs of ability but this is harder and will have to produce a career best effort. Reem Mohammed / The National

Yoshida: Beaten favourite in the Pegasus World Cup but plenty of ability. Can play a part in this. Rex

Thunder Snow: Bidding to become the first horse to win the prize twice. Wasn’t given a hard race and major player if he can overcome the wide draw. Chris Whiteoak / The National

Dolkong: Ran a creditable third behind Capezzano and Thunder Snow, but has to deal with the widest draw. Rex
