In depth
Verdict
MAI DUBAI isn’t quite the finished article but a recent effort at Kempton wasn’t without a considerable amount of promise and the Frankel colt can go well. Juantorena has earned a mark of 80 following runs at slightly better grade and Andrew Balding’s colt is likely to be popular. Spaceport was ignored in the betting ahead of his debut at Ffos Las though ultimately ended up going into plenty of notebooks. Roman Secret is closely related to a juvenile winner over this trip while Tribal Rhythm attempts to bounce back from a disappointing effort at Beverley. Superposition represents a stable very much in form.
