      Verdict

      Thrill Seeker put a frustrating run of seconds behind him when winning over a mile at Kempton in first-time blinkers. He could go well again but Desert Doctor has been racing at Meydan without success, though scored off today’s mark over 6f at Kempton last year. DUBAI QUALITY won a maiden for Godolphin last term and will be sharper for last month’s reappearance and debut for new connections at Wolverhampton. Kevin Ryan’s filly gets a speculative vote with Margub, who hasn’t raced since 2019, preferred to Royal Dynasty and Pinnata of the rest.
