Several subsequent winners have come out of the maiden won easily by EMOTIONLESS at Newmarket last month. The Godolphin colt has a host of fancy entries and can improve past a couple of runners who have already shown ability at a decent level. Ibn Malik and Palawan were second and third in the Vintage Stakes at Goodwood and Charlie Hills' charge should do best again as he is less exposed. Mohab was due to run in a Listed race here yesterday and that is probably more his level and the others may also find this company too hot.
