In depth
Verdict
A competitive maiden with Janszoon going very close over 1m2f at Windsor on his recent debut and preferred to the other Godolphin runner Emirates Flight, who was placed at Wolverhampton in November. But KARAWAAN may just edge this given he finished in front of Uae King when runner-up over 1m3f at Newbury on his reappearance and can confirm superiority with further progress expected here. Dreamtide is related to middle-distance winners and stayers, including the high-class Wicklow Brave, and is a newcomer to note.
