Verdict
Krypton Factor led for a long way on his reappearance over a mile here on Saturday and still has plenty of pace but it's a long time since he was winning sprints in the UK. Internationaldebut and THE REAPER occupied the places behind Addictive Dream over the C&D a fortnight ago when Sir Reginald had the cobwebs blown off after a long break. The former will again make a bold bid but Ger Lyons' charge was racing for the first time here that day and can take this. The Spain-based Ariete Arrollador made a cracking Dubai debut when runner-up to Barbecue Eddie two weeks ago and might have won with a more positive ride. That was over 7f on Tapeta, however, and he could find a couple of these too speedy. Tertio Bloom, who finished fourth, is better known as a sprinter and will definitely be suited by this trip. Enjoy Dubai was beaten a long way on his debut here and may need more time but Silaah made a very promising reappearance here on Saturday and ran well at the track a year ago.
