Verdict
Triumph Of Dubai is taken to land this weak opener at the expense of Blue Savanna and Craigmoor. Triumph Of Dubai won a seller at Taunton the time before last and was far from disgraced in a much better juvenile event at Newbury when eighth behind Maharbal recently. The drop back to selling grade should suit, and he should have no problems in confirming his form over Blue Savanna despite a penalty as he had nine lengths to spare over that rival at Taunton. Craigmoor has shown a modicum of ability to date but he will need to improve on his seventh to Penalty Clause at Doncaster to beat the selection. Of the remainder, Golden Fields was a fair sixth to Mondal and this represents a sharp drop in class. Any moves for him in the ring should be noted, but for the winner we return to Triumph Of Dubai.
