Godolphin have four entries split between Charlie Appleby and Saeed bin Suroor. William Buick is on board Haydock winner NEW KINGDOM for the former while Hector Crouch takes the ride on Bath winner Nader for the latter stable. Buick was on board when King Of Conquest scored at Sandown but passes him over in favour of the selection. Sed Maarib, a Beverley winner for Roger Varian, never got into contention on his debut here a couple of weeks ago but will have come on for the experience. Sari Dubai makes his debut for Doug Watson and is one to note.
