      Verdict

      Aggagio is a standing dish here but was behind Motazzen over 2m4f on the track three weeks ago and finished three lengths adrift of Zain Nights over course and distance in June. State Legend ended a losing run at Sandown last month but a step up to 2m could be the making of FLOWER OF DUBAI, who was keeping on over 1m6f at Haydock two runs ago after being switched to get a run and ran well again at Newbury last month.
