WHOLEOFTHEMOON was a very promising fourth on debut at Goodwood last August and probably didn’t handle soft ground on his only other start at Newmarket. He can make a winning debut on the all-weather here if fully wound up. Wolsey hasn’t really built on a debut second at Sandown last year but is race-fit and Rikona was just beaten at Lingfield at the start of the month. Sarangani has been gelded and is tried in cheekpieces here after starting favourite in both starts to date while the Gosdens’ Aldous Huxley is sure to be popular being a full brother to Al Nefud, who has won twice in Dubai this year.
