A low key opener to say the least but SAND STAMP made a fair debut behind Al Sharood over the C&D a fortnight ago and wouldn't need to improve much to take this. Big Zee was a long way behind and looks held but his stable, who have been going so well recently, may hold a better chance with newcomer Need To Know, the mount of stable jockey Royston Ffrench. Romagne had a bit of form in France last year and has been retained by Hamdan Al Maktoum while Grand Duchy made a promising debut on the track just over a year ago before running poorly when stepped up to better grade.
