In depth

Verdict

Both of the Godolphin runners were last seen at Meydan in February and Frankie gets the leg-up on Dubai Legacy. But BRIGHT MELODY won nicely over today’s trip and a rise in the weights may not be enough to halt his progress. Maydanny is 10lb higher than last summer’s success at Goodwood while Bell Rock scored over a mile here when last in action but Overwrite won off a similar mark here last month and makes more appeal. Mascat is usually in the mix but is proving hard to win with.
