Verdict
Most of these arrive in very good form though G K Chesterton hasn't run since landing a soft-ground maiden at Redcar last October. Godolphin also run Huge Future, who steps up in class from a 10lb higher mark after comfortably completing a double at Newbury in June. West Drive had to drop into a moderate Windsor maiden to gain his first victory and SAUNTER also scored for the first time in maiden company at Goodwood. The latter made all for a very convincing victory, however, and with just half-a-dozen runs under his belt looks the type to go on to better things. Kummiya didn't appear to stay this trip at Sandown after completing a double over a mile but the remaining trio can all be given chances in what looks a tight handicap.
