Back From Dubai and Dubai Elegance won their respective divisions of a classified race here last week and both are penalised. MAGIC GEM and Mr Dib Dab filled the places behind the latter but David Brown’s charge was beaten only a short-head and can take his revenge on 4lb better terms. Hunters Step has tumbled down the weights and may figure at this level while Fen Tiger drops down in distance on his return from a lay-off.
