Verdict
The in-form and consistent EMIRATESDOTCOM can shoulder topweight to victory for Milton Bradley, for whom he's become a reliable servant since joining from Mark Johnston in the late spring of 2010. Effective over 6-7 furlongs, the Pivotal gelding handles all ground types and posted a creditable effort when chasing home Mata Hari Blue at Leicester last week over this trip in better class. George Thisby is interesting, having obliged over C&D last autumn but campaigned over far longer trips this term. He rates the danger if those efforts have not blunted his sprinting speed. Zalano showed more last time and could go well if taking that progress to this first outing on turf. Athaakeel is consistent in lowly grade but needs to improve to trouble the selection.
