Dubai Future
Won Group 3 (1m6f, good) and Group 2 (2m, good) races at Meydan early last year and he's very much of interest on that form; however, not at the same level subsequently and he was a soundly beaten fourth behind Sweet William in the Group 3 Sagaro at Ascot (2m, good to firm) recently.

From the connections
“That was great. Dubai Future is a very talented horse. My concern was the trip. He's a strong traveller but he relaxed today, he switched off. They didn't go a strong pace early on but he relaxed for me. When I let him down I let him organise himself before I really went for him and he responded to pressure. It was a great performance by Saeed - Silvestre de Sousa, jockey.”
“Dubai Future had a little bit of a setback last year which is why he didn't run. I didn't want to lead with him today as it was his first time back after a break, so I told him [de Sousa] to go in behind. He'll now go straight to the Dubai Gold Cup - Saeed bin Suroor, trainer.”
“We've tried to win this race in the last few years with no luck, but this year we had two runners and had first and second. Dubai Future has improved a lot this year and he won at Royal Ascot. Physically and mentally, he was better than last year and we thought he was the right horse again for this race - Saeed bin Suroor, trainer.”
“Dubai Future did well. Danny's given him a very good ride. He's a jockey I like a lot, he gives the horse a chance and we've had some good luck with him. I said to keep a hold of him and keep him relaxed in the race, which he did. He tried and he finished the race well, and he'll go for the Princess of Wales's Stakes at Newmarket next. I love it here, I love being in the winner's enclosure - but it's so hard to get winners here. It means a lot for the family to get winners and to do so with Fazza and Hissa here too - Saeed Bin Suroor, trainer.”
“Everything went pretty smoothly although Dubai Future was a bit keen early on. I had a lovely spin around and when the gap opened he shot through it and we probably ended up in front a bit sooner than ideal. That said he galloped all the way to the line and I would like to think he can build on this up in class - Pat Cosgrave, jockey.”
“Dubai Future has done that really, really well, couldn't have been any easier. I would have liked to have waited a little longer turning for home but as soon as the gap came he was very willing and he just took me straight through it. He's a proper horse. I'm not sure about the plan now. I suppose there's a chance he could go to Dubai, he's proven himself quite capable now but that's not my decision to make - Callum Shepherd, jockey.”
