MORSHDI<\/strong> (4.05, trb) can confirm his place in the Derby line-up at Epsom with victory in the Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes at York this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Following his maiden success at the Knavesmire last October, William Haggas\u2019 colt impressed with a fine turn of foot to win the Betway Feilden Stakes at Newmarket last month.<\/p>\n

The son of Dubawi will benefit from being stepped up to 1m2f today and he is open to plenty of improvement.<\/p>\n

The Aidan O\u2019Brien-trained Christmas<\/a> Day poses the main threat, having battled gamely to win the Group Three Ballysax Stakes on his reappearance at Leopardstown last month.<\/p>\n

Winner of the Group Two Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies\u2019 Stakes 12 months ago, SEE THE FIRE<\/strong> (3.30) is hard to oppose as she aims for a repeat success today.<\/p>\n

The daughter of Sea The Stars, who was a head second behind Barnavara in the Group One Prix de l\u2019Opera at Longchamp on Arc day last autumn, returned with a successful pipe-opener at Nottingham 18 days ago and should be match fit for this.<\/p>\n

HAMMER THE HAMMER<\/strong> (2.20) looks nailed on to score in the five-furlong Lindum York Handicap.<\/p>\n

Kevin Ryan\u2019s four-year-old ran up an early season hat-trick last term before finishing runner-up in the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot.<\/p>\n

He ended the season with solid efforts in the Ayr Gold Cup and in another big-field handicap here in October.<\/p>\n

The Haggas team can score a double with SEA FORCE<\/strong> (2.55, nb) who was unlucky in running when third on his last run in the Thirsk Hunt Cup 12 days ago.<\/p>\n

REVIVAL POWER<\/strong> (4.40) won over course and distance in the summer and went on to win the Flying Childers at Doncaster.<\/p>\n

Third in the Cornwallis at Newmarket when carrying a penalty, she is a speedy individual who goes well here.<\/p>\n

The ITV cameras are also at Salisbury where PERSONAL BEST<\/strong> (2.40) is the selection for the Al Basti Equiworld, Dubai \u201cCity Bowl\u201d Handicap over 1m6f, with Jonathan Portman\u2019s yard in great form.<\/p>\n
