Dubai Bounty proved a little disappointing at Yarmouth so she's passed over in favour of GIANTS PLAY in a race where all have claims. Tut has been running well but isn't a cast iron stayer over this extra quarter of a mile whilst Wild Rose needs to build on the form that she has shown this season. Dubai Bounty proved a little lacklustre in cheekpieces but steps up in trip and may have needed the run at Yarmouth where Mahmood Al Zarooni saddled the second so the Newmarket handler will know what's required from Rio Tinto who starts his handicap career on a realistic mark. Hail Tiberius should be capable of better than he showed at Pontefract whilst Tamanaco may have needed his reappearance and could improve over this longer trip. Nave and Baltimore Clipper can't be ruled out either but Giants Play represents a top yard that does well here and she's expected to open her account now stepped up in trip following a good run in a Salisbury maiden that is working out well.
