Verdict
DUBAI HOPE was winning for the third time when making all over 7f here last month. But the Godolphin filly just prevailed on that occasion and the drop back down to today’s trip will suit. Crimson Sand was placed yet again when ahead of Twilight Madness here and had earlier finished in front of Jack's Point while Emperor Spirit has his first outing since second at Yarmouth last summer and has been gelded since.
