Quite competitive and TAMARAMA is taken to give weight away all round on a first start for new connections. She progressed nicely last term and landed three successes, most recently over this trip. She has not been seen for over 200 days, but the yard is in decent form and she's expected to progress further this term. Grey Fox is the sole course and distance winner on show and has a first start since wind surgery. He's still on a workable mark but has always suggested he's at his best on a good surface. Dubai Souq needs to rediscover form but Oisin Murphy is booked by Godolphin, whilst both Sophosc and Night Eagle - the latter also back after wind surgery - could play a part in a trappy handicap.
