Usually a good maiden and this looks brimming with promising colts, notably WAFEI and Ortelius, who went very close first time up. Both are open to plenty of improvement and interestingly are berthed on the opposite sides of the track here, the vote going to Wafei who has the potentially favourable highest draw. 1.6M yearling Duke's Command is of obvious interest first time up for Godolphin and the betting should be informative.
