GREATGADIAN finished a promising third on his debut in what looked a decent maiden race at Ascot. Roger Varian’s colt is entered in the Group 2 Royal Lodge and should have the measure of the others with experience with this extra distance sure to suit. Mendenhall may prove best of the latter group but a newcomer looks a bigger threat with Marching Army preferred to Golden Armour. The Godolphin colt is the first foal of a Listed winner in Germany and could go well.
