Verdict
Godolphin run three representing different yards. Yuri Gagarin is fitted with a tongue-tie on the back of a couple of poor efforts while Sendeed is 8lb higher than when last successful and Never Alone steps up in trip bidding for a hat-trick on his first start since February. Maqtal won nicely at Doncaster last time but a 10lb hike looks harsh so another chance goes to MASTER THE STARS. The Newcastle winner was only beaten a short-head in a higher grade at Ayr last month and can go one better. Dark Spectre and Prince Imperial make their handicap debuts with the former preferred.
