Group 2 placegetter MUAD'DIB (9) has won 16 from 22 and is unbeaten in two runs this campaign, including success at this circuit last start. In top form and worth following up. SOCIAL CHIC (3) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in the firing line on the corner before winding up in second over 6½f at this track, beaten half a length. Has started 12 times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. NO CHANGE (5) settled towards the tail then wound up strongly to finish 3.5 lengths away in third when resuming last start over 6½f at this track (Dirt). One of the contenders. ESPRESSO (2) finished second two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as favourite over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
