Ryan Moore picks up a ride for Godolphin in this and it could prove a winning one. He partners GOLD TRAIL, who landed a hat-trick with victory at Wolverhampton last time and should go very close if lasting home. Stabelmate Pinzolo also steps up in distance but Hurricane Higgins finished third in the Doncaster Cup back in 2012 and is having his first start since well beaten at Longchamp in the same year. Uramazin scored over track and trip last month and can figure but Masterpaver and John Reel were beaten by the selection last time and Double Discount is another putting his stamina to the test.
