Verdict

Heart Of Dubai, Grande Annee and Tawaash are the trio to concentrate upon and we are with Heart Of Dubai. Heart Of Dubai was highly tried as a juvenile by Clive Brittain and while the trainer isn't adverse to doing that, his horses are often underestimated at this level and we back him to give a fair account today. Grande Annee has to be respected from the Jeremy Noseda outfit. The market is watched for any signs of confidence. Tawaash brings Newmarket form to bear and it remains to be seen as to whether he can translate soft ground form onto today's surface. Istria was well backed at Wolverhampton but didn't show a lot. Expresso Star is bred for further than this bare seven furlongs. Theory is very much bred in the blue and Darryll Holland is an interesting booking. Penchesco sets the benchmark off a rating of 76.Wise Hawk qualifies for handicaps after this run. Heart Of Dubai is put forward as a tentative selection.
