Verdict
DUBAI STATION struggled in the Wokingham at Ascot but had earlier won in this grade over track and trip. Misty Grey went close over 7f here in Listed company last time and can figure while Emperor Spirit has been thereabouts since scoring at the track early last month. Strong Power looks high enough in the weights on the all-weather and If You Dare is not the most consistent while Tomouh was pulled-up here when finding himself adrift after a slow start.
