Godhead⁶³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF| C

6/5

Successful over 1m here on debut, and ran to a higher level when a neck second of 5 to The Met over slightly further at Wolverhampton last time. Will improve further, but a tactical race over 7f probably not ideal.

Form: 12-

Going Places²⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian

4/6

Well-bred Frankel colt whose Dam was a 7f Listed and 1m Group 3 winner. Promising fourth over 1m at Newmarket in June despite racing keenly, and type to do much better this year, with drop in trip expected to suit.

Form: 4-

(3)

Mooteram²⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D C Costello| T: Miss S West

80/1

Beaten a long way in two starts for Mick Channon last season, and looks firmly up against it once again. Making debut for a new yard.

Form: 09-

Forecasts

Going Places (4/6), Godhead (6/5), Mooteram (80/1)

There's not much to choose between GOING PLACES and Godhead on form, but the former is a little less exposed, and gives the impression he will be better suited by the drop to 7f of the pair. They ought to have the race between them with Mooteram having a mountain to climb on debut for Sheena West.
