Verdict

Desert Wind has already won twice, including one over course and distance, but will not find it easy to defy his penalties against less-exposed three-year-olds. Suprematism is improving with experience and there may also be more to come from Mood For Mischief but there are several nice types among the newcomers. Alan King runs two of which Elysees may prove the pick. Godolphin’s Warburton is by Dawn Approach but out of an Oasis Dream mare so may have stamina limitations. MOON OF BARODA is by Dubawi and a half-brother to a winner on the all-weather. He gets a tentative vote but the filly Dance Legend is also worth a market check.
