      Verdict

      Dubai Station is preferred to veteran Blue De Vega of Bob Cowell’s duo. Mountain Peak needs to be on a going day but there are possibilities about Global Prospector, who did nothing but improve when switched to Turf last year. Digital is speedy and has been in good form on the Tapeta at Southwell this year but SIGNIFICANTLY also appeals back in a handicap having been gelded since last seen and he might have the class to end the unbeaten run of Mine's A Double.
