In depth

Verdict

Tactics are likely to play a part in this but DUBAI GUEST, given too much to do at Warwick, should have more pace than former pointer Away At Dawn so gets the nod. Isle Of Aron is the first foal to race of a dual bumper winner and by Kayf Tara so makes more appeal than Buckskin of the newcomers.
