Dahindar had stablemate Arcadian Dream almost two lengths behind over a mile here last month and is likely to confirm the form over the longer trip. The pair look certain to get competitive again but this can go to MOUNTAIN CORAL, who has won three times on the track. Frank Oakes' charge has had four runs since the beginning of last month and his close third behind tonight's rival Banna Boirche was the best of them and he should reverse the form on much better terms. Greatwallofchina is one of the Ballydoyle lesser lights but there are races in him judged on a very good run behind Hajoum over the C&D last month and he found 6f too short last week.
