Verdict

Much was expected of GREEK WAR on his debut at Sandown but, having held every chance at the furlong pole, Mahmood Al Zarooni's charge failed to find any extra on the soft ground and faded to finish fifth. Today's going should be much more to his liking and this Monsun colt is fancied to make amends at the main expense of Harvard N Yale, a length-and-a-half second to Ektihaam at Newbury four weeks ago on his debut and also open to bags of improvement. Godolphin are also represented by Aldgate, who is a half-brother to three winners, but Gospel Choir could be the pick of the debutants as, being by Galileo out of the high-class Chorist, he looks sure to win races.
