Plenty of these arrive in good form and Baraweez will attract attention after his comfortable victory at Musselburgh despite an 8lb rise. Dubai Dynamo ran another excellent race in this grade at Ayr where he found only Tea For Two too strong while Bold Prediction has the beating of Fort Bastion on their run at Thirsk early last month. HEAVY METAL landed the Richmond Stakes as a juvenile but hasn't gone on from that though he's struck form again and scored with a bit in hand at Redcar so gets the vote to follow-up under a penalty. Marcret is taking a drop in class and may prove best of the remainder.
