FAWAAREQ went close at Leicester in September and that looks stronger form than the placed efforts of Menai and Not Touch though Archimento was third at Leicester in October to the highly-regarded Vincent's Forever, due to run earlier on the card. The betting may provide some help judging the chances of the newcomers given several powerful yards run two in this. Commodity and Street Poet represent Sir Michael Stoute while Godolphin's Raven's Corner and 200,000gns yearling Castle Harbour are John Gosden inmates. Roger Varian runs Azizaan and Dream Trader with the former preferred and Noble Star is a 130,000gns purchase to note for James Fanshawe.
