CHANGE THE GAME showed no improvement for the step up to 1m2f but had gone close on his debut over a mile at Wolverhampton earlier. He's preferred to the other Godolphin runner Pergamino and may come good. Southern Gailes ran well over 7f here a fortnight ago but Gradient was less impressive on his debut when well beaten at Lingfield. Mustashry is a half-brother to the useful Munaaser and preferred to Monjeni of the newcomers.
