Famous Warrior has the ability to win races from 7f to 1m2f as he's demonstrated this year and couldn't have won much easier over this trip last time. He'll take some beating with just 5lb extra to carry but there looked much more to come from DESERT WINGS when Richard Mullen brought him with a perfectly-timed challenge to score here last month and he's only gone up 4lb. Marching Time is held on that run but Crowdmania won three times on the all-weather for Mark Johnston and will be better for his run at Jebel Ali. Sullivan Street's second to Kifaah last month could get a boost from the winner in the previous race but Colour Guard has only won once outside of Southwell and that was in China.
