Verdict

LET'S GO went off the boil after completing a double in his first two starts but bounced back to land a Lingfield Listed contest in November. There's much more to come from the 300,000gns son of Street Cry and he can go on to better things. Godolphin also run Footbridge, three times a winner in the USA and a specialist on Dirt who has been placed at Group 1 level. Special Fighter landed a Listed contest over track and trip a month ago and found a mile too short when tackling Group 2 company last time. Storm Belt finished first past the post here in February but was later disqualified for a banned substance. Plantagenet was behind in that latter event while Romansh hasn't shown much since arriving from the USA.
