Maxi King made a promising debut when runner-up at Nottingham and can go close again but BANDDAR (NAP) also ran well over the minimum trip at Ascot on his debut. A couple of winners have already come out of that race and this extra furlong will suit the Godolphin grey with his yard in top form. Mutaany can include a Commonwealth Cup winner among his winning relatives while both Danger Alert and Sound Pressure are speedily-bred types worth noting.
