Roger Varian rarely wastes a trip this far north and this looks a good opportunity for KINGDOM OF DUBAI to make it third-time lucky. He’s a full brother to a useful winner in France and has been showing decent form at Kempton, despite not looking the finished article. Divied was third over course and distance last month and Beresford and Mustadun are likely improvers having only their second career start. Newcomer Conaglen is worth noting for any market interest with Paul Hanagan doing the steering.
