Dubai Mirage was in good form at Meydan earlier this year without winning and probably just needed last month's run at Nottingham. Morghom beat a big field of maidens to make a winning debut at Newbury and started odds-on for a novices' event on a return visit but disappointed. Windseeker made a successful reappearance over 7f here and was headed close home over the same trip at Sandown for which he's been raised 4lb. Larado has been looking a bit high in the weights since scoring at Epsom in September while Variyann ran poorly on his return to action there earlier in the month. TOP SECRET won twice at Ascot last summer, the latest at this level in September under Nicola Currie, so he's taken to get back to winning ways.
