Good news for the two ex English winners.

Fantastic Love was a nice horse for Mark Johnston, lost his way with Godolphin after a while (don't they all ) and now he looks to be slowly getting back to himself.

Daybreak Dancer has been very consistant in Dubai since he has been there and there should be a few more wins for him in the coming months. Well done to Doug and Daragh.

Also, i'm glad to see Rory Cleary getting good mounts in Dubai. He is a very good jock in my opinion. He lost his brother in a horror fall a few years back. I happened to be in Ireland when that happened, it was very sad. He died in hospital as we were on the ferry on the way back to England.

Rory made a pledge to try and win the race named after his brother each year, i'm pretty sure he won it this year.

He's a good jock and a nice lad.

Final field.

I like Narvik here, liked him when he was trained by Michael Jarvis as a 2yo. Lost his way after that (with Godolphin )
