I'M BACK has really thrived on the Dirt surface and looks set for a hat-trick. The Godolphin charge has completed a double in the style of a horse who is better than a handicapper and James Doyle can steer him home again. His stable is also represented by Saxo Jack, who has done very well on Turf here and looks well in if taking to this surface. Le Bernardin wasn't far behind the selection last month and has been in excellent form subsequently with a close third in a Group 2 a fortnight ago proof that he's entitled to the greatest respect. Tenor won three times on Polytrack and made a promising start behind Umgiyo here last month while Energia Davos caught the eye on his introduction to the track and looks certain to do better.
