Verdict

Once again Godolphin are mob-handed with five entries and it's difficult to eliminate any of them. Symbolization has William Buick on board and he caught the eye on his debut here though may need further. James Doyle takes the ride on Aurum, who hadn't run since runner-up in an Epsom Listed contest before a moderate effort here last month though that will have blown the cobwebs away. Bedouin's Story has been running well but will have to come all the way around the outside so a chance in a wide-open handicap is given to ESHTIRAAK, who was in excellent form in Australia in the autumn and will be ready for this after two reasonable runs in tough handicaps. Above N Beyond ran his best ever race here last time and could prove best of the remainder.
