Dubai Souq²²

4/5

Took his form to a new level when a ready winner at Wolverhampton last time, never stronger than at the finish and this trip clearly suits. Will be more to come and his overall form is working out well. Looks a key player.

Form: 431

Hexagon²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 82

11/2

Didn't have to improve to win a little novice race at Ffos Las last time out and in truth, isn't actually going forward at present. Nevertheless, has that win to his name and upped slightly in trip here, may eke out a little more.

Dramatic Sands²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 80

4/1

Moving along nicely now and after winning a little race at Chepstow, did little wrong when bumping into one at Windsor last time. Stays a mile well and off the same mark as last time, has chances in a tricky little contest.

Form: 2012

African Swift¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76

13/2

On the plus side, best effort of her three came here at Kempton over 7f when just touched off by a short head, but well below that at York last time and hard to know what to expect on handicap debut today.

Form: 425

Always Fearless¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

12/1

Steady rather than spectacular improvement has been the story here, stuck to the task over a mile at Salisbury last time and seems to stay well. Related to a few all-weather winners so could improve for switch to this surface, but probably needs to.

Forecasts

Dubai Souq (4/5), Dramatic Sands (4/1), Hexagon (11/2), African Swift (13/2), Always Fearless (12/1)

This could be an interesting little contest, with all five having led or been prominent in their last couple of runs. Expect a good pace. DUBAI SOUQDramatic Sands is improving with each run and stays this trip, so looks the danger. Always Fearless could do better for the switch to an artificial surface and isn't discounted.
