Arabian Heights and stablemate Ducal failed to improve on their debut efforts last time, but Escape To Glory and Midnight Feast ran into a place on their latest starts and there should be more to come from them. However, OUTSMART found only Mosaicist too good on his debut at Yarmouth and the latter has since boosted the form by winning again. Mahmood Al Zarooni's colt looks the one to beat here with Top Diktat likely to pose the main threat having gone close at Kempton last month.
