Godolphin have won both renewals of this and are triple-handed with ALMAAS, who had a rough passage on his debut at Kempton where he showed his inexperience and will have benefited greatly from the run, probably the best of the trio at this stage. Imperial Order has been highly tried on both starts to date and can do better while there are several beautifully-bred newcomers engaged, especially Rye House, who is related to some classy performers. Engrossing is a half-brother to six winners and is one to note in the betting.
