Wilde About Oscar was engaged in the 12.25 at Warwick yesterday but would have obvious claims if coming here instead. DUBAI GUEST had only three rivals in a Musselburgh bumper in February but won easily and his ability to handle soft ground is not in question. He may have too much for Irish points winners Timeless Beauty and Docpickedme. Fugitif and Slipway are best watched returning from a lengthy absence.
