Stage set for Thursday Dubai action

Clive Brittain’s Kandidate and Robbie Osborne’s Latino Magic head the English and Irish challenge in Thursday night’s Group Two Al Fahidi Fort over a mile on the Nad Al Sheba grass.

Brittain’s charge, a course-and-distance handicap winner on the opening night of the Carnival, has since been beaten twice, but is at least proven under the conditions and should go well for Ryan Moore.
