An eye-catcher when fourth over this track and trip on debut, DUBAI POET is an almost certain improver and heads the shortlist. Mambo Beat is a very interesting newcomer being a full brother to the stable’s useful sprinter Snazzy Jazzy and Jabbar is a half-brother to six winners. Zoom is another with a nice pedigree and his stablemate Gaius wouldn’t be winning out of turn while Beaches can take a step forward from his sixth at Doncaster.
