Verdict
Leo Davinci, Dance To Freedom and No Trouble have yet to threaten though may finish closer today while TRUE BELIEF disappointed in a conditions race at Epsom when last seen in June. Gelded subsequently, Charlie Appleby’s charge had shown ability on his earlier debut at York and gets another chance on his return to action. The newcomer Dubai Luxury also represents Godolphin and is a half-sister to a winner on the all-weather while Al Messila is related to a couple of winners and is another debutante to note.
