Almoreb, a winner at Jebel Ali in March, returned there last month to defy a 6lb rise and another 4lb hike shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Dubai Legacy has been highly tried in his seven starts here, all but one on Turf, and has a victory on Tapeta to his credit. But SILENT FILM (NAP) looks the type for this having scored on Polytrack at Lingfield and over the trip on good going in a race that has worked out well at Sandown. He's only had five starts and there should be plenty more to come. Mike De Kock has acquired Magical Land from Godolphin and, though he was mainly disappointing on Turf in the UK, the son of Frankel did manage a victory in a Newmarket handicap in July.
