Emiratesdotcom races off the same mark as when only beaten half-a-length by Tenbridge over course and distance 11 days ago and likes it here. The top weight must go on the short-list again but The Great Gabrial has never won on Turf and turned in a shocker at Catterick three weeks ago. The extra furlong could be a problem for Windsor fourth Little Choosey but the trip is ideal for THANKYOU VERY MUCH. James Bethell doesn't run many here so the fact that his filly has made the trip down from Middleham is significant and she ran a fine race on her handicap debut at Haydock after winning her maiden at Beverley. She may be the one to beat.
