Newbury Race 5 - Dubai Duty Free Cup Stakes (Listed) (Str)
SPY CHIEF (6) was runner-up at Royal Ascot in June contesting the 1400m G3 Jersey Stakes. Not disgraced producing a 7L sixth tackling the track and trip G2 Hungerford Stakes. Respect down in grade. VOLTERRA (3) is proven on soft ground. Recorded a smart third attempting the 1400m G3 John Of Gaunt Stakes at Haydock two runs ago. Worth including. REMMOOZ (5) brings a promising profile following a close third contesting a 1600m Heritage Handicap at York. Makes appeal. SHORT FINAL (1) enjoys soft ground and looks one to note.
