Wise Approach looks a worthy favourite when it comes to the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Gimcrack Stakes.

The 11/10 favourite was able to oblige in the Irish Rose Bowl Stakes and this came after a second-placed finish at Ascot.

On that occasion, the horse ran really well to follow home odds-on favourite Charles Darwin by a distance of two lengths. That was a five-furlong encounter, with the horse returning to the Knavesmire after finishing fourth out of eleven horses at York. Coppull was able to land two victories this season and could be another prime contender.

Clive Cox saddles a horse who was last seen obliging at Goodwood at the end of July. That was a two-length success in the Markel Richmond Stakes, with that effort coming over six furlongs. That came after a really impressive showing in the Coventry Stakes, with Do Or Do Not having been even better when finishing second as an 80/1 chance.

Ed Walker trains a horse who finished runner-up on three consecutive occasions before landing third last time out.
