Verdict

Frankie brought Bedouin's Story with a late burst to land a handicap over a mile and though his mount couldn't produce a repeat in a Group 2 last week it was still a very good run and he should stay the extra. Dream Castle, who won the Group 1 Jebel Hatta in 2019 and was in excellent form last winter, was staying on nicely on his return to action in a Group 2 but finished last a fortnight ago though that wasn't his form. STAR SAFARI hasn't had much racing for his age and landed a strong handicap on his only start here a year ago. He reappeared with a very good run in a Listed contest, with Royal Marine behind, then stepped up to 1m4f to land a handicap a couple of weeks ago and can go in again.
