In depth
Verdict
MAKE MUSIC has gone close the last twice including and should be in the mix once again. But there are plenty of alternatives with Investiture likely to get involved after a debut third at Wolverhampton and the likes of Bonhomie and Hidden Treasures also looking to step up from their recent debut efforts. Gladys Cooper and Kilim are others capable of better and it could pay to keep an eye on the Godolphin newcomer Quality Time.
