By John O'Riordan - A maiden winner on his recent debut at Killarney, the Paddy Twomey-trained CITY OF DUBAI(1) can follow up. Given that runners from the stable tend to improve from their initial start, it was surely significant that the Mehmas colt was good enough to strike at the first time of asking. Well entered up in Group races in the coming months, he is clearly a smart prospect that can maintain his perfect record. Sergei Diaghilev won his maiden at the Curragh before being a beaten favourite in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot last time. He looks the obvious danger to the selection. Bellesque came forward from a promising debut second to win at Leopardstown and is the choice of Dylan Browne McMonagle of the Joseph O'Brien pair.
