NICE FUTURE never threatened the winner when third in soft ground at Newbury on his debut but the runner-up has subsequently won. The 1.4 million guineas Godolphin colt will likely prove a warm order in this with improvement likely over this longer trip. The newcomer Atlantic Sun cost a more modest 52,000gns but jockey bookings suggest he is is preferred to stablemate Ryan The Giant while Recognition drops down in class after a modest effort in a Goodwood maiden race. Modello showed some progress on fast going at Windsor last time.
