        Verdict

        Very few of these can be given serious consideration and, in what boils down to a virtual match, Destination Dubai is preferred to Twofan. The selection is a brother to the stable's Dubai Destination and, while clearly not in the same league, Godolphin's colt has shown enough to suggest that he need only reproduce two-year-old form to win this. Mark Johnston's Twofan was a well-beaten second behind the useful Keelung in testing conditions at Newcastle on his debut last month and should do better on today's faster ground. However, he needs to improve a great deal to beat the selection and looks booked for silver. Neither of the two newcomers Mark Brisbourne's Acuzio nor Bryan McMahon's Now Look Away make much appeal on pedigree and, with the remainder to have raced seemingly little better than moderate, this should go to Destination Dubai.
