DUBAI GLORY, a useful sort on the Flat, couldn't cope with the experienced Battlecat on her hurdling debut at Fontwell two weeks ago but will have learned from that and the drop in distance shouldn't be a problem. She's getting a lot of weight from dual winner De Faoithesdream, who hasn't been seen since recording a double at Sedgefield and Worcester in May. This may not be far enough for winning pointer Dreamsoftheatre while neither Harting Hill nor Legend Erry showed much on their respective debuts. Once More Dubai was very useful on the Flat in his prime, latterly in Dubai, but is going jumping late in life.
