Race preview
DOWNFORCE looked on good terms with himself when winning a Listed contest from the front here on his penultimate outing and was far from disgraced when upped to 7f in Group 3 company at Naas latest. A big run likely beckons now he drops back in trip. Washington Dc is entitled to come on for his comeback spin in Dubai at the World Cup meeting and is considered the main danger ahead of Gymkhana, who attracted support in a Naas handicap on his seasonal return.
