John Gosden has two entries with the newcomer MUAITHER looking the more likely winner. A 95,000gns foal, he went for 475,000gns a year later and is closely related to four winners. His stable companion Cachao made a promising start at Kempton and was an odds-on chance at Wolverhampton last month but ran a shocker. That wasn't his form but he's best watched this time. The 240,000gns yearling King of Dreams was a beaten favourite on his first two starts on Turf in August and was again well supported at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago where he ran much better. That was over a mile but whether the longer trip will suit is uncertain. Silca Wings put a poor debut at Kempton behind her with a much better effort on a return visit and should be suited by the longer trip.
