Dubai Sonnet looks an interesting newcomer from a yard that does well with its bumper horses. Talented Kid only found one too good at Newton Abbot last month and Call Him Something likewise at Catterick in February, though the latter hasn't been seen since. HOWLETT appreciated the better ground at Sedgefield last month and may have more to offer. He can take the spoils in this finale with Kettlewell probably the pick of the remainder if handling the quicker surface.
