In depth
Verdict
Zain Sarinda is penalised for last month’s victory at Wolverhampton when Grand Alliance finished third. Admiralty House steps up in trip on the back of placing at the latter track on his debut but SARANGANI will also appreciate this extra distance. The latter ran green when runner-up over a mile at Newcastle and Charlie Appleby’s colt is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Fiction Maker. Thundershower also represents Godolphin for a different trainer and is worth a second glance.
