No form to go on and only one favourite has obliged in the last 10 years so the betting may not be much help either. HAKEEM has an entry in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes and the Hannon colt gets a speculative vote on that basis while Godolphin’s Top Score, Gulliver and Await The Storm are in valuable sales races later in the year. Mark Johnston runs the filly Toy Theatre and the dam of Global Applause was a winning sprinter but Walter Raleigh is in the Derby and his winning relatives all scored over 7f and further.
