Kheros made a winning start at Kempton and was placed carrying a penalty at Wolverhampton last month. War Tiger wasn’t beaten far at the same track on his introduction and is preferred to Top Power while Trapani was unfancied for her debut and ran accordingly. The latter’s stablemate Miss Morocco makes more appeal for the powerful Gosden yard but the vote goes to fellow newcomer ONE VISION. Already gelded, the Godolphin representative is out of a UAE 1000 Guineas winner and Charlie Appleby has an outstanding strike rate with three-year-old runners at this venue including last year’s inaugural running.
