Three of these returned impressive winners for powerful yards last time. Godwinson scored over a longer trip at Hamilton in June and Botanical won easily at the same track last month. MEASURED TIME returns from an absence but beat a subsequent dual winner by four lengths over track and trip back in February and the Godolphin colt gets the vote on that form. Marching Band is related to a Listed winner and is a newcomer to note.
