Richard Fahey has won three of the last five renewals but his representative this year, Buccaneers Cove, appears to have some improving to do. Etikaal also needs to take a step forward from his second at Kempton while Gulliver hasn't raced since a third here in May when favourite and is now tried in blinkers. Nancy Hart and Aelius may need more time but DUBAI HORIZON should be ready for his debut and looks the most likely of the newcomers. He's by Dubawi and his dam won a Group 3 over this trip in Argentina. Mojito may be best of the rest.
