THAT’S MY DUBAI won over a longer trip at Catterick but is only 5lb higher and she was placed over shorter trips at Uttoxeter and Sedgefield earlier. She’s got forward momentum which is more than you can say about the majority of her rivals. Irish import Longtimesincejaspr is having her first run for Julia Brooke after almost a year on the sidelines and Hermanus has shown little since returning from a lay-off of her own. On We Go may be best of the rest.
