GOVERNOR OF INDIA was slowly away and then ran green when fourth at Haydock two weeks ago. By Dubawi out of the stable’s Musidora and French Oaks winner Star Of Seville, much better is expected with that run under his belt. The Gosdens also run the equally-unexposed Shadow Of War, who can include Ascot Gold Cup runner Subjectivist and St Leger runner-up Sir Ron Priestly among his winning relatives. Seendid was only third when Clan Chieftain beat a subsequent winner at Chepstow but should get closer here on more favourable terms and the Sea The Stars filly Ya Hafhd adds to the interest.
