Redcar maiden winner Legendary Guest has to be respected but, along with Ed McMahon's Bath winner Supermassive Muse, may struggle under his penalty and preference is for Meydan Dubai. The selection has shown improved form with each start, latterly when chasing home surprise winner Lesson In Humility at Carlisle, and Jim Best's colt looks worth another chance here in receipt of weight from the former winners. Richard Hannon's Luscious Lips also has a penalty to carry for her success here over five furlongs and has to be respected but she may prefer a softer surface so looks best watched. Rash Judgement has shown promise in both starts and is another to consider but Meydan Dubai has solid claims and he is taken to open his account.
