Musabah Al Muhairi had an astonishing 'Super Saturday' completing a hat-trick and though Resolute Response doesn't have the best of form figures he's shown enough ability to warrant respect. Padlock finished runner-up three times over shorter distances on this track before stepping up to this trip and scoring at Jebel Ali. A 5lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run but FITZGERALD (NAP) may have his measure. A winner on Dirt at Delaware Park, He was having just his second start since July when staying on strongly to score over 7f at Jebel Ali and looks as though this trip will hold no terrors. Stormardal landed a course and distance handicap on New Year's Day before finding a step-up in class beyond him a couple of weeks later. Patent scored at Aqueduct as a juvenile but hasn't had much racing subsequently.
