Two run in the Godolphin blue in this and it's a surprise that James Doyle is riding Blair House given Dubai Fashion's third at Newmarket is the better recent form. Mark Johnston is also double-handed with Cape Speed preferred to King's Pavilion. There are possibilities about course and distance winner Lorelina and Easter Mate but the bird had flown by the time PROSECUTE got a run at Haydock at the start of the month and that effort suggests David Simcock's gelding is on a fair mark at present, though further rain would be a concern.
