DHAHMAAN won his first two over 5f but his best run came when stepped up to 6f at York two weeks ago when he only found Donjuan Triumphant too good in this grade. Marco Botti's colt would probably only need match that effort here to get back to winning ways. Mick Channon's fillies Sixties Sue and Unilit have kept good company in the main but are thoroughly exposed. However, Dream Destination was second over this trip in a Group 3 at Kempton last month so should be thereabouts and Above N Beyond and Explosive Power appear progressive. Fighting Temeraire landed a gamble at Windsor 12 days ago so may also be capable of better and is preferred to Point Of Woods of the others.
