DUBAI SONNET has a 7lb penalty to contend with but couldn't have won any easier when strolling home at Sedgefield earlier this month. He's the one to beat in this company.

Karisma King showed plenty of promise on his debut at Wetherby when only fading close home and he can figure while 29,000 euros purchase Horsted Valley is related to hurdle winners in France and worth noting on his racecourse debut.
