New Identity and MOONVOY both started favourite last time. The latter went closest, only going down by a length-and-a-half to Momayyaz over 1m at Kempton. The drop in distance is a slight worry but Jeremy Noseda's filly looks the form pick on her debut third at Newmarket. The four-year-old Rome should be winning soon as he's gone close several times on the Polytrack and there's no reason why he won't handle Turf but Persian Bolt and Song Of Norway have become disappointing. Taghreeb is by Dubawi and wouldn't need to be a world-beater to get involved on his introduction.
