Arab Dawn and Ajman Bridge lock horns once more after a one-two finish over 1m4f at the Royal meeting, both having developed into very useful high-grade handicappers, although the latter can rightly claim to have been most unfortunate not to land a decent pot on recent starts. Both should go well again but there is a doubt about the shorter trip. Mark Johnston has three good chances with Sennockian Star and Fire Fighting looking best of the trio with the former especially strong if on a going day which are not always the easiest to predict. William Haggas fields Battalion and Homage who are both respected whilst First Flight also makes plenty of appeal with conditions appearing ideal for the Godolphin inmate. However, we'll take a chance with VOICE OF A LEADER. He's only had four runs in three seasons and clearly has had issues but he made an excellent return to action over course and distance on reappearance and must surely improve for the run. More than likely he's been laid out with this in mind.
