Air Pilot sets the benchmark on the basis of his heavy ground French Group 2 and Group 3 wins, but in truth the 2018 Doonside Cup looks to be a wide open affair. Saeed Bin Suroor probably had this race in the back of his mind when sending Dubai Horizon here in June, and kept ticking over since, he is likely to prove ultra-competitive. Aspetar is lightly raced and open to improvement, but it's a slight worry that he has been off the track since a disappointing run in June, so a chance is taken on ESCALATOR. This progressive handicapper tackles Listed company for the first-time, but is bang in-form, relishes soft ground, and looks to be fairly unexposed at 1m2f.
