        Verdict

        Space Ship again looked one-paced at Doncaster and John Gosden may struggle to get a race out of him this year. Sir Henry Cecil runs two with jockey bookings suggesting Lingfield fourth Demonic is more forward than Morpheus while Willie Haggas has well-bred newcomers Battalion and Sacred Square in the starting line-up. Samawi and IMPROVISATION both wear the blue of Godolphin but it's the former who is expected to come out on top and get off the mark here. He showed up well in a couple of hot maidens here and at Goodwood last summer and will have strengthened up over the winter. Eshtiaal stayed on into second over a mile here in the autumn and is another who will be suited by further this season while Mujarrad, in the same ownership, is another with scope but Tinghir has more to do than when runner-up at Kempton in December.
