Verdict
DELIGHT OF DUBAI will be winning over fences soon judged on recent placed efforts. She can race off the same mark as when third at Worcester last month and is less exposed than Demon D'Aunou. The latter is back on a winning mark but came up short when third at Southwell last time while Rizzardo has struggled since winning at the latter track back in November. Vocaliser has looked high enough in the weights since landing a hat-trick last autumn while Court Duty fell behind the selection on his latest start.
