SILVER KNOTT (3) scored by 2 lengths when resuming last start in the G2 Dubai City Of Gold at Meydan over 0m. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including two wins. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. AMBIENTE FRIENDLY (1) was back from a break two-and-a-half weeks ago and finished 6 lengths away in fourth over 1800m at this track. Only has a small field to contend with and is sure to prove tough to beat. BELLUM JUSTUM (2) finished a 7 length fifth when resuming last start over 2400m in the G3 John Porter Stakes at Newbury. Has a decent second up record. Expected to feature. DIVINA GRACE (4) did well to score by a nose first-up in a weaker race last start over 2400m in the G3 John Porter Stakes at Newbury. Has a solid second-up record and cannot be ruled out.
