Fabiosa is penalised having won back in April while Manaafith has undergone wind surgery since scoring over a longer trip at Lingfield in August. Court Of Session improved to finish third at Wolverhampton for a yard in fine form but NOBLE ORDER (NAP) lost a shoe when finding one too good on soft ground at Newmarket on last month’s debut and the Godolphin colt gets another chance in this. Assessment is related to a couple of winners while Maritime Rules is a full-brother to this year’s winner of the Italian 2000 Guineas.
