Dubai Mirage was mugged on the line by stable companion Bedouin's Story, ridden by Frankie, who is now on the runner-up. He was drawn on the wide outside that day but has stall 1 here and will be fancied to go one better. Majestic Mambo, who wasn't suited by the slow pace, was well beaten but can do much better than that. YA HAYATI created a surprise when beating Bright Melody in a Listed contest over the track and trip and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up despite the runner-up having a 3lb pull. Recordman's victory last month was on Dirt but Prompting, who completed a hat-trick for David O'Meara last summer, ran well here after a long break a fortnight ago.
