Verdict
Malhama disappointed over this trip on her debut but she's been placed twice since over a mile and is tried in headgear as she steps out of maiden company. PROSECUTE looks the one to be on, however, as his second to World's Greatest – who runs earlier on the card – was a major step forward and more improvement is anticipated over this longer distance. Western Prince is another likely to progress now upped in trip but Long Call clearly isn't one of Godolphin's leading lights while Jive Time was a bit disappointing on his handicap debut, though the soft ground was a legitimate excuse.
