Johnny Levins is hoping that Prisoner's Dilemma can snaffle prize money while over at the Dubai World Cup Carnival.

The seven-year-old gelding was primed for Dubai after winning a spring handicap at the Curragh in August before finishing fourth in Listed company at York the following month.

Speaking after saddling Shabaaby to win at Dundalk on Friday, Levins said: "We will try to peak Prisoner's Dilemma in two to three weeks' time. He is there until March 7th and hopefully we can take a bit of Dirhams!

"I will get out for his next runs onwards, and I'll be backwards and forwards."

Prisoner's Dilemma ran on Friday, the opening day of the carnival, upon arrival but finished down the field under Andrew Slattery in a Listed sprint over five furlongs at Meydan. Michael Browne's Logo Hunter came home sixth.

Levins' charge has seven career victories including four on the Polytrack at Dundalk
