BOLTHOLE was quite impressive in a Windsor novice event that is working out well and he could make the most of the 3lb he receives from King Of Conquest. Godolphin won this last year with the smart Yibir and the Lope De Vega colt only had to be pushed out to beat Paradias at Sandown so looks a threat to all. Zechariah looks to be improving and beat Bullet Force more easily at Sandown than Westover did but Rawyaan has only won minor events at Brighton and Leicester, though Marcus Tregoning’s record in this bears close inspection.
