DUBAI MISSION made a promising start over course and distance when finding only one too good and gets the vote. He is preferred to stablemate City By The Bay but looks to have more to fear from Frenchman, third at Wolverhampton behind subsequent handicap winner Vivre Pour Vivre. Sixties Groove showed no improvement last time while Dubai Empress was beaten a long way on last year’s debut. Lobster Cocktail is a half-brother to five winners and preferred to Dltripleseven of the newcomers.
