Both of the Godolphin representatives have a shout in this with MUTARABBY preferred. He has gone close in both starts now after finishing second over today’s trip at Leicester on his reappearance with both Lord Kitten and Park Paddocks behind. The latter was due to run at Bath yesterday while Hold Sway found one too good when odds-on favourite at Pontefract earlier in the month and can figure on that form. King Of Paris steps up in trip after a second at Brighton and is preferred to Marine One while Zenon, part-owned by Coolmore, is one to note returning to action for the Gosden yard.
