Plenty of these have claims and include the Godolphin pair Cat O'Mountain and Muharrib. Both won their maidens last time though the former scored over C&D and is just preferred to stablemate Filfil, third in a decent handicap at this track last time. SESENTUM beat a short-price favourite to open his account at Brighton. With further progress on the cards, he's fancied to follow-up although Everleigh is dropped in class and is also worthy of consideration along with recent Pontefract winner Elegant In Silk.
