Robert Havlin
expects Dubai Warrior to be seen to greater effect when stepped up in trip
after maintaining his unbeaten record on his eagerly-awaited return to action.
Forced to miss
the first part of the campaign after suffering a setback in the spring, the
John Gosden-trained three-year-old made up for lost time when backing up his
debut win over a mile at Chelmsford with a stylish victory over the same trip
at Kempton on Wednesday. With a number of Group One entries next to Dubai
Warrior's name, including the Qatar Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and the Qipco
Champion Stakes, the 45-year-old jockey is confident the one-time Derby hope should
get at least a mile and a quarter
Trainer Michael
Dods is hoping Mabs Cross can go one better than last year in her quest for
success in the Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York. He told The Punter, “We are
happy with Mabs Cross. She is in good form and we’re building the work up ready
for having her A1 on the day. We just gave her a few easy weeks. The idea was
to let her down a bit and then build her back up ready for York. The important
thing to her is pace in the race. If she’s off the bridle at halfway you know
she’ll come on at the end.
