    Verdict

    COACHELLO travelled over from Ireland to win a tough handicap over 7f at Lingfield last month. He also won over today’s shorter trip at Meydan early in the year and another bold bid is expected. Admiral D landed the sprint series final at Kempton with Dubai Station back in fifth and remains unexposed on the all-weather along with Bielsa, who finished runner-up in this grade last time and recorded a rare win at York back in May. Intrinsic Bond looks high enough in the weights and Dickieburd is upped in class.
