WAJAAHA has been placed in all four starts for Godolphin in the UK, three of them on the all-weather. He stays the trip and won't mind the surface so looks the one to beat. Dawn Trouper has threatened to win on several occasions without doing so but he couldn't have gone any closer here last time and, with the longer trip likely to suit, he'll be there at the finish. Far Reach has been running poorly over hurdles but Intermedia has shown decent form over shorter and makes her debut for a new yard. Madame Delavanti has never raced beyond 1m1f though she ran her best race over that trip when runner-up at Tipperary.
