Fulbright has been in tremendous form this season with five victories and all ground seem to come alike to him. However, his latest neck defeat of Tazahum at Sandown brings DANCE AND DANCE into the equation. The former was receiving 11lb from the selection when beating him at Newmarket and Ed Vaughan's charge has since run well in a Grade 1 race at Woodbine. Firebeam has claims back over today's trip and makes more appeal than Eton Forever and Pepper Lane while Saeed Bin Suroor's decent record in this race suggests Colonial may bounce back to form. Dubawi Sound remains unexposed but has done his winning on fast ground so far.
