State Of Desire is not one of Godolphin’s leading juveniles but he followed up a third at Yarmouth with a second at Haydock and should be thereabouts again here. Crown Estate has also hinted at ability in a couple of runs but was behind the 300,000gns yearling Caviar Heights here in June and the Balding colt will improve on that. Also once-raced, A LA NOCHE is another with scope and he was an eye-catcher at Goodwood nine days ago having missed the break. The latter’s stablemate, Stratocracy, is also interesting having cost 92,000gns as a yearling and Defiance cost more than twice that amount.
