STRATUM spearheads a team of seven for Willie Mullins in Saturday's Dubai £500,000 Cesarewitch at Newmarket.

The Closutton handler also has Low Sun, Whiskey Sour, Uradel, Cheltenham Festival heroine Limini, Law Girl and Meri Devie entered.
Aidan O'Brien sends over Southern France who was last seen finishing third in the St Leger.
At the top of the weights is Scotland who is set to have his first run for new trainer Jonjo O'Neill.

Mulholland told At The Races: "He's had two runs and two wins (in Britain).
"He seems to keep getting stronger and he's improving, so this is a race we've had in mind for some time and we're looking forward to it.
"There's some very good prize-money on offer and it would be nice to get a bit of it.
"We're full of hope because this has been a long-term plan. Hopefully the horse can do the talking."
