Verdict
DUBAI MEDIA looks to be the pick of the runners after just being headed in the finishing stages at York last month and Tom McLaughlin has been riding the winners of late. Millden hasn't progressed in his two runs so far this year and lacked the pace to challenge over six furlongs last time. Eclipsed and Toms Return represent for John Best with Eclipsed returning to the turf after a short break since disappointing over a mile trip on the Polytrack here.
