Steadily progressive in novice company, HALLA DUBAI possibly found his early exuberance blunting his finishing effort when fourth on handicap debut at Goodwood (1m) in June. Returning from 56 days off with his yard in good form, he's worth another chance to prove his mark a workable one partnered by Oisin Murphy. Captain Cuddles, following his good Ascot third, and Be Prepared are others to consider, whilst Zouky is another worth keeping an eye on.
