Dream Today made a successful debut for Jamie Osborne here last month with a surprise victory and though only third in a better race a fortnight ago he had Another Batt just behind in fourth with Alfredo Arcano, Glenamoy Lad and Intisaab in the rear. Riflescope bounced back to winning ways in a lesser-grade handicap earlier this month but is 7lb higher and this looks tougher. EKHTIYAAR was having his first start since July and making his debut here when a good third behind Another Batt last month. Doug Watson has given him a few weeks off and he can take this under Jim Crowley. Legendary Lunch was almost 3l behind Riflescope three weeks ago but has since won a Listed contest at Abu Dhabi.
