Mr David showed abundant promise as a juvenile and returns to the track after a year off so keep an eye on the market to assess his claims. Castles In The Air, Treadwell and Oasis Dancer all blotted their copy-books at Glorious Goodwood having won on their previous start while Red Jazz also disappointed there but would come right into this on the pick of his efforts this year. Instead though our vote goes to a horse rated the equal of Red Jazz, in SKYSURFERS. Saeed Bin Suroor's charge only made his debut in October so one would imagine there's still more to come and when he took third at Goodwood the yard were struggling for winners. Earlier form in Dubai makes him the one to beat and with the operation among the winners this week he gets our vote. Fravashi is the second-string on jockey bookings but his profile is similar and a big run wouldn't surprise, while Yaa Wayl is closely matched with Castles In The Air and has the scope to improve and Sent From Heaven drops in grade.
