Ed Vaughan's SEEKING DUBAI is a progressive filly and is given our vote to take this fillies' maiden ahead of Zubova and newcomer Love And Devotion. The pick improved from her first run to find just one too good last time under the in-form Ryan Moore, who takes the ride again. We don't yet know how good that run will be but if continuing in the same fashion she looks to be the benchmark. Richard Hannon has his string in excellent form at the moment and although Zubova didn't really come on for her first run this looks easier and after her trainer's performance at Goodwood this week she can't be dismissed. The powerful Godolphin team have got rolling this week as well and their debutant Love And Devotion should run a big first race under jockey Frankie Dettori. Pose looks the Hannon second string but is entitled to improve from a solid first effort but in a race where we suggest a market check before placing your bets Seeking Dubai is our choice.
