Dubai Hills is rated 15lb higher on the all-weather and is back on the same mark as his last victory though that was in May of last year. His stablemate SOPHISTICATED HEIR also looks on a fair mark and should be winning soon, especially if there's some give in the ground as is likely here and gets the vote in a very tight handicap. Lil Sophella has struggled a little since going up 5lb for winning at Hamilton while Woody Bay could only be seriously considered if the ground dries out. Trinity Star has only won on fast going, a remark that also applies to Relight My Fire, and Ruth Carr's Irish import Abushamah is having his first start for the yard.
