HAMADA is going the right way and improved on an earlier debut third at Newmarket when second to Racing Post Trophy entry Atty Persse at Sandown. He’s preferred to the newcomer and Bernadini colt Eagle's Stare, who also sports Godolphin colours, and can open his account in this. Mayleen and Actualisation finished practically upsides when the former was third over a mile here but fifth-placed Avantgardist may improve past both today while The Blues Master was well ahead of the more-exposed Good Time Ahead at Beverley last month. Physicist is a brother to a winner over 1m2f and is worth a second glance.
