A fascinating maiden and one in which TWO BIDS makes most appeal. William Haggas' charge is beautifully bred and shaped with enough promise on debut to be of interest here. Dubai Future should relish this step up in trip while Fly The Flag is another well bred sort. Debutante Invictus Spirit can't be ruled out.
