In depth
Verdict
Godolphin have four entries and Echo Point, a debut winner at Kempton in 2021, had some decent form in Turf handicaps without winning again. The stable also run SENSE OF WISDOM, a debut winner at Newmarket in June and impeded when odds-on for a return visit a month later. Electrical Storm also represents the owners and the York winner was impressive in a minor handicap here last month. Positive Impact was very consistent in the UK last summer culminating in a comfortable success at Kempton while Fall Of Rome, a son of Frankel, started a short-priced favourite in six races for Godolphin in 2021 but won just once and has joined the Seemar operation.
