The progressive DUBAI HOPE won a maiden over today’s distance before making all over 6f at Wolverhampton on her handicap debut. An apprentice’s allowance reduces a hike in the weights and the unexposed Godolphin filly looks worth sticking with. Ivasecret and Shoot To Kill were both placed over today’s trip at Kempton last time and the former won here in August while Kondratiev Wave makes most appeal of the remainder.
