TREASURE TOWN just gets the nod here ahead of Life And Soul and newcomer Penangdouble O One. Fairly often this season the best time to catch the Godolphin runners has been on their second start. This son of King's Best made a pleasing start when third to Botanist in what looks a decent enough Leicester maiden and with natural improvement he could take a lot of beating. Of the newcomers it is the half-brother to Harbinger, Penang Double O One, who makes most appeal, although any support for the 52,000 guineas purchase Boston Blue would have to be taken seriously. Consult looks like he needs more time, Kahfre will be qualified for handicaps after this run, whilst Life And Soul improved markedly from first to second outings and the stable are in better form now. At a price Rakhapura could run into the frame, but the obvious place to lay our hat is with Treasure Town.
