Coventry Stakes winner Hellvelyn scored here en route to Royal Ascot and this is another two-year-old conditions event not to be underestimated, with three of the last seven winners going on to land Group races. Nor should the small field necessarily mean the form is ordinary - very smart sprinter Deportivo beat just three rivals four years ago, while the top-class Lucky Story saw off just a couple more the following season.

That said, this may not have been a vintage running and they went only a fairpace, with the runner-up allowed to dictate affairs up front steal a march on the field, so that DUBAI'S TOUCH did well to get up close home for the narrowest of victories, having been waited with behind his stable-companion so as not to overdo things early on. He has improved on top-of-the-ground in each of his last two starts and has further progress in him, though he is reportedly set for a break now.

As One Does raced in touch but was pushed along in the straight and could find only one pace - this was a fair effort but he had been able to dominate when winning on an easier surface at Hamilton and may be better with more give in the ground. Debutant Craig Y Nos dwelt at the start and was always behind.
