      Verdict

      Dubai Hills is practically unbeatable on the Fibresand but is vulnerable on this surface. He beat GALICIAN easily at Southwell recently but it could be a different story here. The latter re-opposes on better terms and had Verse Of Love behind when runner-up at Wolverhampton last month. He gets the nod as Verse Of Love went on to score at Kempton where he took care of the re-opposing Birdman, Loyalty and Clockmaker. A winner on the Turf, Deia Sunrise makes his all-weather debut off a high enough mark having been pulled up over hurdles recently.
