Verdict

This is interesting with the Royer-Dupre team choosing to raid Newmarket with I'm The Man. He will be a short-list essential should the rains fall upon Suffolk but the same can be said for the consistent HARRIS TWEED. The Haggas charge perhaps doesn't win as often as he might but he's sure to give it a good shot from the front under Richard Hughes and the softer the ground the better. He is just preferred to Lost In The Moment who is dangerous to underrate as the best of his form puts him in here with every chance. Godolphin are rolling along nicely at present and it will be fascinating to see what shape he's in after an absence. Cameron Highland has failed to sparkle the last twice but has ability but Barbican could well need this after around a year away from the track.
