Sama Dubai was an impressive winner on her debut and can take this competitive looking handicap, Starship and Zaafran could be the ones to chase her home. Michael Stoute's filly was green in the early stages of that Salisbury event but got the hang of things late on. She ran on really strongly to beat the good yardstick Pirouetting and gets in here on a reasonable mark. Starship made a winning return in a handicap last month when comfortably beating Wee Charlie Castle, there could be more to come and she should be thereabouts. Zaafran has shown a consistent level of form in maidens, but may do better now she is handicapped. Smart Ass and Celtic Spa are two others worthy of respect, but Sama Dubai could be anything and can make it back to back victories.
