Several of these are entered in the Dante including Bin Battuta, who narrowly beat the other Godolphin representative First Nation to win a handicap over 1m2f at Doncaster recently - today’s apprentice reduces an 8lb rise in the weights. John Gosden’s duo Azam and Middle Kingdom won their respective maidens on the all-weather in November and are also in the Dante along with ELUCIDATION. Sir Michael Stoute’s colt won over 7f at Leicester in September but is bred for middle-distances and Ryan Moore takes over the reins today. Century Dream is another lightly-raced maiden winner, though has no fancy entries so far and steps up in trip along with Lingfield maiden winner Wahash.
