Destination Dubai is hard to oppose and gets a confident vote over Maraahel, with King Of Dreams one to note for the future. David Loder has provided a constant source of winners with his juveniles this term, and Destination Dubai looks all set to add to his tally judged on a very promising debut at Doncaster. Beaten a short-head by Mutawassel, it took time for the penny to drop, but as the pace quickened so did he and he should have little difficulty going one better. Jamie Spencer obviously liked what he saw, as he was right behind on the third horse, the well regarded Cape Vincent, and is now in the driving seat on the Loder inmate, a brother as the name suggests to Dubai Destination, and who holds an entry in the Racing Post Trophy. Maraahel got bogged down in the soft ground at Sandown on his debut and can improve on his fifth placing. The fourth that day, stablemate Monakee, won at Kempton on Monday so the form is not bad. King Of Dreams comes from a stable that has had a great season with juveniles, but they do tend to need a run and this son of Sadler's Wells, closely related to High Chaparral no less, may be no exception. Border Music may pay to follow in time given the success of his young trainer this term, but they will all have to go some to stop Destination Dubai who gets a confident vote.
