DUBLIN PHARAOH had a tough debut at Chelmsford when fourth behind an odds-on favourite rated 87 and the third has gone in since. That looks strong enough form to see him go close in this. Several newcomers from powerful yards are worthy of attention including Godolphin’s 325,000gns purchase Spectrum Of Light though he’s already been gelded while John Gosden runs two in the same colours with jockey bookings suggesting Desert Flyer is preferred to Innovation. Liberation Point is related to a couple of winners and makes more appeal than Cable Speed and Ancyre of the remainder.
