The subsequent Derby and King George winner Adayar landed this in 2020 and Godolphin also won it in 2021 so Newmarket sixth Duke's Command shouldn’t be left out of calculations. William Haggas sent out the winner last year and he saddles newcomers The Reverend and Raheen Rode this time. The former is a full brother to the Group 2 and Group 3 winner Angel Power and the latter is by Golden Horn, after whom this race is named. Roger Varian’s Mr Hampstead is a full brother to the Irish Oaks winner Savethelastdance while Move On In showed he handled heavy going at Haydock. HOSAAMM kept on really well on soft ground at Salisbury considering he had to make his own running. He’ll know more today and looks the pick of those with experience ahead of York runner-up Love Warrior.
