Verdict
It rather goes against the grain to oppose any Godolphin juvenile at present, not least one with a progressive profile such as Mizwaaj who stepped up on a satisfactory York debut to finish a four-length second to Ektihaam in a Doncaster conditions event just over three weeks ago. Further progress is anticipated but CAMPANOLOGY sets a decent standard and could deliver another juvenile success for the Hannon battalions. Only beaten just over a couple of lengths the last twice in highly competitive affairs, he should be good enough here back in maiden grade. The Haggas colt, Al Wajba and Mark Johnton's Shamardal debutant, Switzerland, look very interesting newcomers and should be tracked in the market accordingly.
