Restraint Of Trade is out of a prolific mare and sports Godolphin's first colours even though stablemate Lord Provost is a half-brother to multiple winner Landaman. Both are worth a second glance in the betting but the experience of LIGHTNING LAUNCH should stand him in good stead. He kept on well for third over today's trip at Haydock last time and that looks stronger form than Astrosaphhire's recent effort at Lingfield where she occupied the same finishing position. Pearl Castle should finish closer and makes more appeal than Sovereign Power.
