Musaddas made the most of an easy opportunity in a Thirsk maiden race last time but had gone close in a handicap over track and trip before that. He's preferred to the other Godolphin maiden winner Bombardment. Aomen Rock is raised in class off a 10lb higher mark after scoring here last month while Rome and Ocean Applause also look high enough in the weights at present. But JACK OF DIAMONDS has tumbled down the handicap and he looks set for a return to winning ways after going very close in a tougher race at Sandown last time.
