Having chased home a subsequent winner on his penultimate start, BUR DUBAI seemed to find the drop back in trip against him when third at Hamilton earlier this month and with the return to this stiffer test likely in his favour, he can prove his mark a workable one. Frankelian improved when third on handicap debut at Salisbury and can do better again now her stamina is tested further. Open Secret is another fancied to feature.
