In depth

Verdict

WALTON STREET was narrowly beaten by Desert Fire at Lingfield in September before landing a Newmarket Listed contest. He returned here with a superb all-the-way success in a Listed handicap where he had Dubai Future 5 lengths back in second and his Lingfield conqueror further behind. The runner-up boosted the form when landing a Listed handicap over 1m6f. All three are Godolphin representatives as is Brilliant Light, who has performed well in all three recent starts though has a bit to find. Dubai Warrior was beaten a long way in a Group 2 last month but that was nowhere near his form. The winner of six races on the all-weather, that was his first start on Dirt. The remaining pair don't look good enough.
