Dubai Iconic won twice over 7f here in his younger days and was returning from almost two years off when an excellent second to Satwa Story last month. STATE LAW has been in fine form throughout the winter season here and won for the second time when coming with a late run to beat Famous Warrior a fortnight ago, form that should be good enough for this. Dairam was beaten less than a length in that latter event but is no better off at the weights while North Pole hasn't been able to repeat his success for Sir Mark Prescott at Brighton in 2013. The former Mark Johnston-trained Special Fighter will be better for his opening run two weeks ago.
