Dandy Nicholls had been trying for an age to win a race in Dubai and finally did it last week with Addictive Dream. That was over 5f and a 5lb rise makes this much more difficult and GREEN BERET, who finished a close fifth, will be that much better off and is certain to be suited by the longer trip. He just gets the vote though Bohemian Melody hasn't had much racing and looked like a horse going places when successful in a very tough Doncaster handicap in October. However, an incredible 11lb rise in the ratings might just be enough to halt his progress here. Forjatt was quite progressive for Roger Varian last summer and can do well here while it's good to see dual champion jockey Paul Hanagan turning up to ride the lightly-raced Sir Reginald, who won on his only start last year. The Reaper is very consistent but has never won on Turf in 13 starts.
