Verdict

Hareeq may find this too demanding against progressive younger types, of which DUBAI TRADITION can follow up a comfortable success at Pontefract when the Godolphin colt always controlled matters. He has a nice way of going, will progress again and a mark of 83 rates a decent opening mark in handicaps. Apparate, coming along quite nicely too, may lack the scope of the selection, whilst Babbo's Boy needs to put a tailed-off run at Royal Ascot behind him after looking on the upgrade previously. Power Of States should have more to offer and has claims off the bottom rung. Doctor Cross improved last time and Doyle is a rare booking for the Fahey team.
