SWEET DEAL hails from a yard with an impressive strike rate at this track and was doing his best work in the closing stages of his debut over 7f at Sandown. This extra distance will suit and he's just preferred to Buckstay, a close-up third over C&D on his first start and expected to improve. None of the Godolphin trio have looked like winning so far with Star Of Broadway's third at Beverley possibly the best effort while the newcomers High Troja, Khotan and Sesentum all look likely to do better over longer distances in time.
