      Verdict

      DUBAI SOUQ has a hefty burden for a juvenile in a tight nursery but strode clear in taking fashion at Wolverhampton and there are no concerns at all about his stamina. He can improve again and see off useful rivals headed by Hexagon who may be a doubtful runner as he was due to run at Newcastle yesterday. No possibility of ruling out the consistent Dramatic Sands or the promising African Swift on handicap bow and it's the latter who is taken to emerge as the leading danger. Always Fearless has looked solid and consistent this term and should be in the mix in a tricky one for punters.
