This may turn out to be closer than the early market suggests but it’s hard to see beyond blue not being the Godolphin blue that takes this event. Charlie Appleby saddles two here with MARHABAN the one with the experience having made all to score last time out over this trip at Lingfield. He’s penalised for that victory but looked the type to progress further with the blinkers he worn twice now left off. His stablemate Cirque Royal is bred to relish this sort of trip and has a useful pedigree but despite getting weight he may just need the experience. Trainer Marco Botti won this last year but will do well to repeat the feat; his Maria Magdalena will do better in time though.
