Verdict

DUBAI INSTINCT's last victory was at Sandown in 2019 from an 8lb higher mark and he caught the eye behind Flyin' Solo here last week so gets the nod. Live Your Dream's two victories have been over 1m2f at Newcastle and, though progressive, he will find things very different here. Wise Eagle, a winning bumper, began his recent winning run on the latter track and has landed two minor handicaps on fast ground at Catterick and Noonday Gun's only success came on soft ground, though he'll need to improve from his last two starts. Green Planet is still a maiden and never got close at Lingfield earlier this month while another maiden, Spanish Kiss, has only raced on the all-weather and never over a trip this far.
