In depth
Verdict
Moolhim failed to show the progress expected when well beaten in third at Sandown and steps up in trip along with GLOBAL STORM. It remains to be seen if the Godolphin colt can build on last month’s promising debut at Doncaster but this extra furlong should suit Charlie Appleby’s charge. Cipango may also improve after a modest fifth at Doncaster and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Falcon Claws but the US-bred Daheer is a debutant to note.
