      In depth

      Verdict

      Godolphin have the top six in this line-up plus two other entries. One of the latter pair, Dubai Future, is progressing fast and should make a bold bid to defy a 7lb rise for his victory three weeks ago while Dubai Horizon led at this trip in a Listed handicap over 1m6f a couple of weeks ago before being run out of it. Jalmoud won first time out at Newmarket last season so the lack of a run shouldn't pose a problem though his close third behind Japan in the Grand Prix De Paris at Longchamp was on soft ground. FIRST NATION (NAP) has found 1m2f too short in his two starts this campaign, staying on from off the pace in both. He looks worth a wager in a tough handicap in which Michael Halford's Massif Central may prove best of the non-Godolphin entries.
