Verdict

A small field goes to post for this handicap and Dubai Tower looks to have a straight forward task. The gelding from the Mark Johnson yard was a good second behind Goodbye Mr Bond at Hamilton last time out and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Bluebird Spirit rates the main danger he is sure to be suited by the step up in trip and has more scope for improvement than all of his rivals. Hula Bellew would also have a chance on his best form but he has a 209 day absence to overcome. The remainder need to improve on there most recent form to take a hand in the finish.
