MULK showed ability at Newmarket on his recent debut when second to Sky Kingdom. The latter has placed in Listed company since so the form looks solid. Exoteric also ran well on his introduction when fourth at Wolverhampton in December and is preferred to Brighton third Monaco Rose. The newcomer Huge Future cost 260,000 euros and is in the Derby. The Godolphin colt is preferred to Gamesters Boy and Wicked Woo and should be noted in the betting.
