Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Dash (Handicap)

Robert & Nina Bailey
Has risen through the ranks in the last year, clocking a good timefigure when scoring at Ffos Las and again impressing with how he went through the race when following up in a C&D handicap a fortnight ago, making all. Up another 5 lb but got to be feared in hat-trick bid.

Mr Peter Mellett
Has been in good form here this season, landing 6f handicap in first-time cheekpieces in May and third (again over 6f) last month. Finished with a rattle on the unfavoured near side behind All Ways Glamorous over C&D a fortnight ago and well worth considering.

Volare Aviation Ltd
Three-time winner in the US earlier in his career and has returned to his best for current yard this season, scoring at Thirsk (6f) in May and running well in similar C&D handicap last month (best work finish). Not seen to best effect held up in the Stewards' Cup last week and this is more his bag.

Middleham Park Racing CX
Did well upon joining new yard initially, winning back-to-back 5f all-weather handicaps first 2 starts this year. Well beaten in competitive 6f handicaps on turf the last twice though and needs a revival dropped back in trip with headgear refitted.

Hambleton Racing Ltd XXXI and Partner
Smart gelding who was a 4-time winner in 2025, signing off with a Group 3 success at Dundalk in October. Hasn't fired this year (left the impression he might have been keeping a bit back for himself at Goodwood when last seen in May), but down in the weights and has Ryan Moore up back from a break.

Middleham Park Racing LXXXIV
Completed an all-weather hat-trick at Wolverhampton (5f) in April. Might not have had optimum conditions in good turf handicaps the last twice, but he's still to prove he's as effective on this surface.

Pompey Ventures 5
Won 5 times in 2025 and again at Kempton and Newcastle this year. Last week's Stewards' Cup defeat easy enough to excuse (not best placed) but the evidence is mounting up that he's better on all-weather.

James and Susan Cookson
Stepped up on his form in Italy when taking a Southwell handicap in March. Some excuses since, including at Newcastle last time when almost coming down after a bad stumble at the start. On a good mark if ready to roll for new yard.
