Pat Dobbs will have to come around the outside on MULFIT but his mount, who is having his first start for Doug Watson, made a very bright start here in December before outclassed in the UAE 2000 Guineas. He'll be ready for this and looks the one to beat. Zalmi Star couldn't get close to the winner over 7f in March but was staying on strongly so the trip will suit. Autumn Pride showed potential for Mark Johnston, though over much further, while Blue Sovereign's close second to Dolmen over the trip on Turf was a good effort, though he ran a shocker next time. Endless Gold hasn't run since runner-up three times for Charlie Appleby in 2017 but his new trainer has the knack of getting one ready for these early cards.
