Mick Channon expressed satisfaction with Majestic Roi's draw for the Dubai Duty Free at Nad Al Sheba on Saturday.

Last season's Sun Chariot Stakes winner will break from gate two in the Group One heat and is the mount of Darryll Holland.

"I think we have got a good draw," said Channon.

"The draw is not too much of a problem - it is the competition that is the problem.

"The Duty Free is a very hot race. They are all Group One winners on their day and it will be down to who performs on that day and who gets a little bit of luck as well.

"But I am happy, but I think everyone is thinking the same."

Herman Brown hopes Linngari can go one place better than last year when he was second to Admire Moon.

However, the South African handler was left nonplussed by the six-year-old's draw after being handed berth 16 for a second consecutive year.

Brown, who also saddles Jay Peg in the Duty Free, said: "I am concerned by the draw, he had the same draw last year.

"It's just amazing a horse can draw 16 two years in a row.

"But the horse is fantastic at the moment, he is going really well so we just have to accept it.

"He is an amazing horse and seems to come well when we need him to."
