Celtic Prince looked the likely winner when hitting the front 2f out at Jebel Ali on Friday but was swamped by the winner in the closing stages. He'd run well over 6f here earlier and should get into contention. His stable companion Davy Lamp showed a bit of dash in a handicap here last month while the ex-Irish California Jumbo also ran on Friday, though never really got involved in a 1m1f handicap. Majestic Thunder was well beaten into third on his debut here in May but made a very encouraging reappearance at Jebel Ali last month and looks certain to go well but TORNO SUBITO looks to have made great strides during the summer as he returned to action with a very good run over an extended 1m1f in October where he led at this trip.
