Battani makes more appeal than Churchill College of those with experience but a newcomer may prove good enough. Eldar Eldarov cost £480,000 at the Doncaster Breeze Up back in May while Janoobi and Clear Day are related to winning sprinters. But the Godolphin colt ROCKFIRE is a full-brother to a winner and a half-brother to others and gets the vote to make a winning debut. Mostly Cloudy looks best of the rest.
