Another cracking line-up though several have the Dubai Duty Free on the agenda including Poet's Voice, brilliant conqueror of Rip Van Winkle in the QEII Stakes at Ascot when Hearts Of Fire was five lengths behind. Wigmore Hall finished in front of the Godolphin colt in the Champion Stakes subsequently and Michael Bell's greatly improved charge is another with bigger aspirations on World Cup night so this should go to one of the entries with a recent run. Lancelot would certainly fit that description having run well behind Psychic Ability a fortnight ago though he could be better over slightly further. Al Shemali, shock winner of the Dubai Duty Free a year ago, reverts to turf for the first time since a fine run in the Singapore Airlines Cup and looks a big danger but PRESVIS has returned to his brilliant best and can take this for the second time. Luca Cumani's charge didn't run up to scratch in the Duty Free last year but this looks to be his time with so many of his rivals likely to need the run.
