After four consecutive placed efforts, On The Feather is beginning to look a frustrating sort while Oneiric is going the same way having been placed in all three of her starts. In contrast, Dubai Glory has had no trouble winning and landed a hat-trick over today's trip earlier this year. He's struggled off a higher mark since however, so a chance is taken on ELRASHEED. His form so far is nothing to write home about but this half-brother to smart stayer and stablemate Akmal should come into his own over today's longer trip - John Dunlop's charge gets the nod.
