      Verdict

      Godolphin have won this twice in recent years and AD DABARAN should be good enough to keep up the sequence if his pedigree is anything to go by. He cost 360,000 euros and is a half-brother to numerous winners including Alianthus, who won ten races at Group and Listed level in Germany. Ejbaar has looked moderate and was beaten a long way on his handicap debut at Newmarket while American Hustle only showed modest progress from her debut when looking one-paced at Wetherby. The four-year-old New Stream arrives from Newmarket but showed nothing on his only start at Wolverhampton in August.
