WHITE WOLF scored on Tapeta at Southwell and Wolverhampton with a fair effort in the Dante at York in-between. He'll be expected to start making up for lost time though Godolphin have plenty of other options here. Newbury maiden winner Falling Shadow is probably better than we have seen so far and Blue Trail was only beaten a neck in a Class 2 handicap at Goodwood. Brilliant Light raced in strong handicaps after scoring at Ripon in May and has experience here. Annerville has been racing in Listed company in Ireland while Doug Watson has acquired Legend Of Dubai, twice a winner for Roger Varian and best when fresh.
