JOURNEYMAN (NAP) looks on the way back to the kind of form that saw him run in the UAE 2000 Guineas here a year ago. His close second to Ostaad on Turf last month must have persuaded Mike De Kock to run him on Dirt again and he's very well handicapped. Ducab was in tremendous form on Tapeta a year ago, winning twice, though he hasn't been seen since March while Mundahesh took on much better company after completing a hat-trick over the trip last year and ran his best race for a long time behind Fils Anges two weeks ago.
