Dubai Celebration arrives in good form from the Polytrack but has something to prove over today's longer distance. The same comment applies to Staff Sergeant but JAMAICA GRANDE won over 1m4f at Kempton last time. The latter's previous start at this track was inconclusive as it came over 6f so Dave Morris' charge is worth another chance over this more suitable trip. Berkeley Street was a big disappointment when odds-on at Wolverhampton last time and West End Lad remains badly out of form.
