DUBLIN PHARAOH won at Sandown before finding the progressive Luncies too good at Kempton. He drops back down in class for this and should make a bold bid. Sweet Dime had placed over track and trip on a couple of occasions before struggling in heavy ground at Newmarket behind runner-up Cloud Thunder while Daawy was well beaten in the same race at headquarters. Glenties gets a change of headgear having disappointed at Kempton while Iconic Belle’s earlier placed efforts came over 1m6f.
