This looks an open contest but GREAT HONOUR separated a couple of subsequent winners when third over today’s trip at Goodwood on his debut so is preferred to stablemate Autumn Leaf. Royal Mews also represents Godolphin and is upped in distance along with Lydford, Via Veritas and the returning Dollar Bid. Man Of Light and Galahad Threepwood finished closer last time and are less exposed than Zeimaam but Turquoise Kingdom is a 500,000gns full brother to a Group 2 winner and is a newcomer to note along with Seven Pockets.
