Forecasts

Dubai Mile (9/4), Maximilian Caesar (11/4), Imperial Dream (11/4), Go Senator Go (15/2), Relentless Voyager (17/2), Highland Flyer (20/1)

IMPERIAL DREAM caught the eye with how well he went about things when fourth at Southwell on debut 9 days ago and the 5 lb he receives from penalised-winner Maximilian Caesar may prove decisive. Go Senator Go makes most appeal of the newcomers.
