Go To Dubai was eight lengths too good for IBMAB when the pair met at Redcar but with the latter having improved beyond his rival since that encounter he gets the vote in this claimer with the unexposed Rescent also on the shortlist after just two starts. Whispered Times is another we should consider here in first time blinkers but his mark suggests the make-up of this race favours the selection who easily landed a similar event on his latest attempt when steeping up to this trip for the first time. The gelding is yet to experience ground this fast but should be fine on it. As should Rescent whose slightly backward step on his second start could be put down to softer conditions. His promising debut when finding just a more experienced runner too good proves this one has ability and he should be making a bold bid. Go To Dubai looks to have a bit to do at the weights but is a likeable type sure to run his race however after such a good win last time we take Ibmab to follow up.
