This is a drop in class for DUBAI LOVE but her run in the Kensington Palace Stakes suggests she should appreciate today's shorter trip and the handicapper is at least offering a helping hand. Divine Magic is used to racing with small fields obtaining and she will attempt to unleash her bid from off the back of the pack but is worse off at the weights with last year’s winner Lalania now that she no longer enjoys the luxury of an age allowance. Good American was to make all on debut at Salisbury and with Ralph Beckett’s team in such sparkling form, you couldn’t rule out a big run on reappearance.
