Pat Cosgrave is beginning to make his presence felt again in Dubai and steered Sogno D'amore to victory over Entifaadha at Al Ain last Saturday. His mount has more to do but looks on the upgrade and can confirm the form. Darkening has never won on an artificial surface but has gone close on several occasions and has twice finished close-up behind Skygazing recently. He was also headed close home by the in-form Dehbashi over a slightly longer trip last time and should go close again. Cachao hasn't got going since arriving from the UK but SKY JOCKEY won over a mile here in November and found 7f too short next time. He looks to have a good chance of adding to his two course victories and he holds Fraserburgh on their run on this card last year.
