What has been reported
Third behind Forbidden Fire in the Flying Scotsman, he could be suited by the dip back to six furlongs. 02 Newbury – Redorange and Starlust fancied for Group Three gloryRedorange and Starlust lock horns in a trappy Dubai International Airport World Trophy Stakes at 1. Clive Cox saddles Redorange who has leading claims under new pilot Callum Rodriguez. An improving type, he has enjoyed a fruitful campaign landing the Listed City Walls at York in July. Well beaten in the Nunthorpe, this should be easier.
Starlust, winner of the 2024 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, he is yet to win since but has been knocking on the door of late with a second in the Nunthorpe and a fourth at the Curragh. This looks an ideal opportunity to land a Group Three pot. Last year's 1-2 First Instinct and Shagraan look best of the rest in an open field, while Naana's Sparkle heads up in class after his Goodwood handicap victory.

The Jane Chapple-Hyam-trained Primo Lara has been in fine form since joining from Jack Morland. The five-year-old scored with a bit in hand at Kempton to take his record to two wins from three starts for new connections and Ryan Moore is an eye-catching booking. French Duke ran his best race in some time when an excellent second at York last time and while the handicapper hasn't missed him, another bold bid should be expected.
