A good winner last night put on for followers.  Creationist was a 5/1 winner at Kempton 5.45.  I also mentioned Spirit Warning as an each way bet, he was second at 11/2, so a tiny bit of profit on him as well.

Today has some good racing in Dubai at Meydan.  Royal Marine is 8/13 with some firms for the 3.40, having his first run on dirt ! I think he is way too short, clearly the best horse in the race, but his form is on turf, he has to prove he is of similar ability on dirt, if he gets in behind and gets some kickback, he may not really like that, stall 7 could well see him get in behind a few horses.  It is a race I will not be getting involved in.

I did think Gold Town 4.50 was a bit more appealing at 7/1 each way.  His stable have started a bit below par at the first meeting last week, but this horse is a course winner, his negative is stall 8, but likely front runner Heavy Metal is stall 7, he is the horse that will start favourite, and is probably the likely one they all have to beat.  The other races at Meydan are ultra competitive, I may have a few quid each way on Original Choice 6.00, at 11/1, although the race is very open with 16 runners.
