        Verdict

        Godolphin have seven entries here. William Buick was on board when Walton Street won this last year though he'd already had two runs, unlike this time where he's not been seen since September. The jockey was also on board Zaman when he won a Listed race here in March and though that was over a mile he stays this trip well. Mountain Hunter also represents the owners and he'll be much sharper for his run behind First Nation last month but Red Galileo probably needs further and a strike-rate of 2-34 is a poor return for a useful handicapper. The latter was behind the Scandinavia-trained Suspicious Mind over 1m6f last time and the form should be confirmed but this can go to SHARPALO (NAP). He's never won on Turf in eleven starts but has finished with a real flourish over the course and distance the last twice, the latest off a slow early pace, and with a faster gallop likely looks the one to see off the Godolphin battalions.
