Land Of Legends, who completed a hat-trick in the UK last summer, made an excellent start to his career here when just failing to catch Salute The Soldier three weeks ago. Dubai Legacy was found to be lame after a poor effort on Dirt while Epic Hero looked like winning a couple of weeks ago but found 1m1f just beyond him. Tashweeq made a successful return to action here last month then was staying on strongly over 7f a fortnight ago though was just behind LAIETH. The latter didn't get the run of the race and in a tight handicap looks to have a fair each-way chance.
