This is wide-open but DUBAI CELEBRATION pushed the winner all the way to the line over course and distance last time so Julie Camacho's charge gets a speculative vote to go one better. Spirit Of Gondree, Delightful Sleep and Kyllachykov all scored at this track on their latest starts but the latter beat the re-opposing Bertie Blu Boy by only a head and is not certain to confirm running. Flying Applause is rated much higher on the Turf and has a shout while Arabian Flight is a rare winner but went very close at Kempton last week.
