TAMBORRADA made a winning debut earlier in the month when scoring over course and distance. The Godolphin colt had a horse rated 81 back in third and may defy a penalty with normal progress. Clay will be looking to make the most of the weight concession having improved with every start and finding only one too good here last time while stablemate Gustav Holst is a full brother to the useful Al Muffrih and is preferred to Mount Olympus of the newcomers.
