WITH INTEREST is the clear pick on ratings and on recent form with Bolodenka looking the biggest danger to Godolphin's five year-old. The selection made a delayed return to the racecourse in the UK following two victories achieved in Dubai during the winter months. He was a never-nearer third at Newbury last time but even that form should be good enough to see this injury-plagued five year-old land his first victory this turf season. Bolodenka has 9lbs to find with the favourite. His best form seems to be reserved for large competitive fields but he has clearly returned to something like his old form judging by a sixth-placed effort at Ascot recently. Nanton ran a huge race in the Cambridgeshire last Saturday but this is a much different profile of race. If none the worse for his exertions at HQ he would have a chance but still has quite a bit to find on the ratings. Goodbye Mr Bond has failed to step up from his York win earlier in the season and has it all to do on recent form.
