CHINA CLUB never threatened the winner when third on his debut over track trip. But the Gosden colt may come good in this with normal improvement. Sirheed has shown little so far and makes his debut on the all-weather while Dutch Uncle and Sleep Easy were both well beaten last time. Arthenus, Molten Lava and Pacify are all worth a second glance but fellow newcomer Dark Deed is the first foal of a Group 3 winner and makes more appeal.
