Godolphin's juveniles have been in tremendous form this season and with the team continuing to perform we take Macabre to land this on debut, with Dart Along and the experienced David Junior to follow him home. Macabre is by proven juvenile 7f performer Machiavellian out a classy dam Lady In Waiting and is bred to perform well here. Plenty of Godolphin's two-year-olds have gone in first time up and with the usual caution advised over the market, this one looks to be the next to do so. David Junior has had the benefit of a previous outing and is unique in doing so among this line up. That third of twelve was not a bad effort as he did run green, and we expect more here, so he can be involved in the closing stages. The same can be said of the well bred Dart Along, who has the right credentials to do well as a juvenile and he can put up a decent debut too. But Macabre stands out as far as breeding and stable form are concerned and he gets the vote.
