In depth
Verdict
Despite climbing the weights, DUBAWI DANCER's winning run shows no sign of coming to an end and a four-timer beckons here. She has gone up 9lb since winning at Haydock but had plenty in hand and is a progressive filly. Oriental Girl is 10lb higher than when winning this 12 months ago and has been below her best so far this season, while Only You Maggie has been raised a further 4lb for finishing second at Newbury. Levantera showed some promise as a two-year-old but has been most disappointing this term and best watched for now, despite a tumbling handicap mark.
