Godolphin hold all the aces here with the top four rated entries. THUNDER SNOW is the only one of the quartet not to have run on the surface and arrives without a prep-run but his impressive victory in the Group 1 Criterium International at Saint-Cloud stamps him as a likely classic winner. Fly At Dawn overcame a tardy start to land the trial for this over 7f from Cosmo Charlie, Top Score (who won here on Thursday) and Best Solution. The runner-up was having just the second start of his career and should make enough progress to get closer this time. Capezzano was behind him in December and there doesn't appear to be an obvious reason for a form reversal.
