Most of these were highly tried last year, including Waady. John Gosden’s gelding was placed in a Group 3 and a Group 2 in his first two starts in 2016 and then ran fifth in King’s Stand Stakes. However, he’s much better over 5f while the going may be too quick for veteran Jack Dexter. Aeolus stopped quickly in the Abernant on his return to action and may need another run but ORION’S BOW should be cherry-ripe after a fair sixth at Ripon on his first start for Tim Easterby. The six-year-old doesn’t have much to find on official ratings. Mobsta is not without a chance but Naadirr hasn’t sparkled so far this year.
