Newbury

The key horse is that terrific 8yo Dubai Honour (second choice) who has a big advantage on ratings but is unraced over this far and also brings some doubt over whether this is his ideal ground. Mount Atlas is penalised 3lb after snatching victory in a 1m6f Group 3 last time, when the frustrating Tabletalk finished second yet again. Those three are the established Group-race performers but it may be worth looking further afield, particularly perhaps to GAMRAI who has had seriously progressive form in this season's handicaps. Rebel Rocker, the sole 3yo, clearly needs marked improvement but is unexposed and likely to be well suited by this longer trip. Wine Dark Sea looked good two runs ago but at a much lower level.[Richard Austen]
