This won't take much winning so Zefooha must have every chance of defying top weight as he is only 3lb higher than when scoring over C&D in June. Heart Of Dubai isn't particularly well handicapped but is a consistent stayer at this level and should be thereabouts again, while Spahi travelled strongly for a long way when fourth over C&D last month and might appreciate this quicker going. Tasman Tiger is slowly getting the hang of things but we'll give a tentative vote to the three-year-old AL FURAT, who produced a much better effort when stepped up to 1m4f at Catterick last time and gave every indication an even longer trip wouldn't come amiss.
