Five of these are rated 110, 5lb behind top-marked DUBAI WARRIOR, who tries Dirt for the first time but has won six out of eight on Polytrack including Lingfield's Winter Derby a year ago. John Gosden's charge will be ready for this in his quest to get into the final and gets the nod. Capezzano has a brilliant record around here winning at Group 1 level in 2019 and a Group 3 on his return to action a year ago, though he was beaten by Thegreatcollection in December and ran nowhere near to form last time. His stablemate Blown By Wind, five times a winner for Mark Johnston, was an impressive winner at Group 3 level on the Dirt at Jebel Ali while Salute The Soldier is entitled to respect though he's just held by Thegreatcollection on his last two starts.
