Thouwra has obvious claims but a string of seconds tempers enthusiasm and Entrenched wears Godolphin's first colours under Mickael Barzalona. The latter is sure to improve for his debut effort at Wolverhampton while Bushel should also be involved after going close over a longer trip at Windsor. Everlasting Light will probably be winning before long but may need this on her comeback so a chance is taken on PERNICA. She'll be stronger for her latest effort at Doncaster where she only faded in the closing stages and Lucy Wadham's filly may well get one over the more powerful yards in this.
