A half-brother to Enable, Derab has come up short in both starts so far while Fireworks placed at Newcastle on last year’s debut. But SOUTHERN VOYAGE finished ahead of a couple of subsequent winners when beaten a length over track and trip on last month’s introduction and Archie Watson’s colt may prove the one to side with on that form. Oisin Murphy rode Chief of Staff at Doncaster last month but sticks with penalised stablemate and Salisbury winner Great News while the newcomer Desert Wisdom also represents Godolphin and jockey bookings suggest Aqwaam is preferred to Ubahha and Mowaleda.
Great News 5-2 (9-2) Went left start, raced wide tracked leaders, ridden to lead narrowly approaching final furlong, ran on, won at Salisbury 7f stks (5) gf in Apr beating George Morland (9-7) by 1/2l, 10 ran.
