Famous Kid steps up to a Group race for the first time in the G3 Nad Al Sheba Trophy Sponsored By SkyCargo over a mile and three quarters on turf at Meydan, UAE, on Thursday, March 3.

The Saeed bin Suroor-trained five-year-old stayed on well to take a close third on his first start of the year in a turf handicap over the same course and distance on February 4.

The Street Cry horse beat G2 winner Ahzeemah in another 14-furlong turf handicap at last year's Dubai World Cup Carnival and has gained four wins in the UK, including a comprehensive six-length success in a Polytrack handicap, also over a mile and three quarters, at Chelmsford City in November.

Saeed bin Suroor commented: "Famous Kid has been doing well. He is in good condition at the moment and this looks to be the right race for him.

"He likes this course and distance and I hope that he can build on his latest run."
