A typically tough puzzle for punters with the majority of the field open to improvement as they move into handicap company over a longer trip. The suggestion is DUBAI GLORY who has been noted finishing strongly over Beverley's stiff seven furlongs on each of her last two runs in maidens so she seems certain to be suited by this test of stamina. She was a long way behind Sceal Nua on debut and Richard Hannon's charge was far from disgraced in a traditionally warm Newmarket nursery at the July meeting and has to rate highly. Jacobs Son is proven over the trip and is sure to be popular with Frankie Dettori taking over in the saddle whilst it would be no surprise to see Sixty Roses play a prominent role with Mediplomat and Piceno two more to put under the microscope.
