Verdict
Frankie Dettori hasn't finished riding winners in the Godolphin colours yet and IKHTISAS could provide another. He was clear of the field when second on his racecourse debut at Salisbury recently and that looks the best form on offer. Mujazif is a likely improver, as is Bursledon, who made his introduction in a decent maiden at Ascot. Vanvitelli is a half-bother to an all-weather winner and fellow newcomer Hasheem is another worth noting. 80,000gns purchase Furibondo and the Galileo filly, No Truth, are other debutants to monitor for any support in the betting.
