NOBLE DICTATOR is the chosen one with Global Conquest and Vita Mia others of note. The gelding put up his best run for some time at Kempton and while he has disappointed when sent left handed in the past; we are prepared to believe that he could have been let in lightly by the assessor. Global Conquest has few miles on the clock. She was far from disgraced at Wolverhampton on her most recent start and should go well under a good apprentice. Vita Mia is perfectly exposed though runs to her mark with astonishing levels of consistency. Everaard has raced in claimers and might just need to come down the weights before he troubles the judge. Colaganik has shown nothing of note this season though the yard are in form. Countenance was easy to back on handicap introduction and connections appear not to have worked out what his best trip is. Jazacosta has two poor efforts to leave behind. Not a race for the faint hearted so Noble Dictator can only be offered up to small stakes.
