Godolphin run two with Saeed bin Suroor’s colt Making History penalised for an convincing success at Leicester on his handicap bow. Charlie Appleby is represented by novice winner Path Of Thunder, a winner over today’s trip at Haydock, with headgear fitted today. LIGHT ANGEL (NAP) steps up in distance having failed to threaten over 6f in the Group 2 Coventry at Ascot last month. Bred to appreciate this extra distance and with a talented apprentice taking 5lb off his back, John Gosden’s colt may prove good enough. Dorset Blue’s yard has a good record in this but he looks up against it on form.
