Take The High Road has a first run for Keith Dalgleish having been placed recently at Gowran when with John Oxx. He has to be thereabouts if taking to the surface, though the drop in distance is a slight worry. ABRAJ DUBAI is by leading sire Street Cry so it's a surprise that she only cost 10,000 guineas. She should thrive on the all-weather and could prove a bargain. Charlie's Dreamer is rated 7lb lower than the equally-exposed Haraz but could prove the pick of that pair today.
