Dubai Acclaim has been running well on Tapeta but is making his debut on Turf, as is dual Kempton scorer Tribal Warrior. Montague looks fully exposed and is much better on the all-weather but there should be more come this year from the filly Havana Mariposa. Byron's Choice had decent form last year and has been gelded over the winter but MOSALIM (NAP) will likely start a short-priced favourite given the manner of his victory at Chelmsford. He cost 100,000gns as a yearling and was too green to do himself justice on Turf as a two-year-old.
