A strong showing by Canberra Legend in Thursday's Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Dante Stakes (3.35) at York promises to give Daniel Muscutt an enviable hand in next month's Derby.

Muscutt has partnered the unbeaten James Ferguson-trained colt to both his wins, including when striking in the Listed Feilden Stakes at Newmarket's Craven meeting last month.
