December Second, an ex-Godolphin inmate and dual bumper winner for Philip Kirby, ran really well in a similar race on his Turf debut at Goodwood and will surely be involved at the business end today. However, John Gosden will be keen to get a win out his beautifully-bred Dubawi filly, PROMISSORY and the filly is taken to maximise the 17lb she receives from the topweight. Frankie Dettori ventures north to take the ride on a filly who should come on considerably for her Goodwood debut third behind stable companion Terebellum. The remainder look up against it but Albanderi hails from a classy address and may well do better after an inauspicious debut.
