22/1
Refused to race on AW debut over C&D in January and although faring better when upped to 1m (fifth of nine) 13-days ago still rates as a risky proposition.

£800 yearling; started at massive prices on each of his first two outings and has shown precious little in the way of promise for the future either.

6,000gns juvenile; slowly away and never able to challenge when finishing seventh of 13 to Sparkle In His Eye on debut over 1m here last month; capable of better with that experience banked.

Kingdom Of Dubai31
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: L Morris| T: R Varian
5/4
€82,000 yearling, €50,000 juvenile; has looked to be short on natural pace in both starts at Kempton (7f-1m) but those races were stronger than this one on paper; leading form-based contender with Luke Morris in the plate.

Muhallab
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-6| J: A Mullen| T: Adrian Nicholls
5/1
€21,000 juvenile; second foal out of a fairly moderate dam (Andrea Bellevica); surprising if he's sharp enough to make a winning debut.

Verdict

Strong on numbers but not so in terms of likely winners, therefore the sound advice is to stick with the Roger Varian-trained KINGDOM OF DUBAI. Although appearing to be short on natural pace on both of his previous starts at Kempton those efforts were in more competitive races than tonight's (on paper). The switch to this more galloping AW track should prove favourable and with the dynamic Luke Morris in the saddle, he's fancied to respond well to his riders urging's and get the better of the possible improver Beresford.
