      Verdict

      EBEN DUBAI has been runner-up here the last twice, setting a strong pace on both occasions before being overhauled late on. He should be suited by the drop to 1m2f and Martin Dwyer should be able to set the right fractions as he was in the plate the last day. Mamnoon is thoroughly exposed but is also one of the more reliable conveyances on view and should get involved off topweight whilst Eugenic is well treated on the best of his form and gave a decent account in a large-field Chepstow handicap latest. Bicolour looks far from a leading light of the Johnston team at present but she is slowly getting the hang of things and would not need to improve greatly to be dangerous off her current mark with De Sousa booked.
