With two wins in the last three years, Brian Ellison obviously targets this contest. But his representative this time, Ace Of Marmalade, only managed to beat one rival in four starts on the Flat. MOJAWIZ failed to win a race for Godolphin on the Flat but was placed on a couple of occasions and probably has more natural ability than these. He should win if adapting to this new sphere with Fortuna Glas, who hinted at ability in maidens last year for Donald McCain, fancied to chase him home ahead of The Names's Bond and Egmont.
