In depth

Verdict

Both Dubai Hills and Dubai Dynamo are perfectly capable of winning at this level on their day. The former especially looks to have every chance on his latest second over track and trip. Wannabe King is another with claims if at his best dropping down a grade but Discression came up well short over today's trip once again when behind Dubai Hills here last time and is proving best over 7f. In such an open affair, a punt is taken on THE RECTIFIER. He's 17lb lower than when scoring at Kempton last year and with Tom Queally on board for his return to action, he could go close at a decent price.
