Godolphin's runners have been in great heart of late and the unexposed Highland Blaze is fancied to continue the resurgence; possibly at the main expense of Whistle Away and Vino. It will also be interesting to see how the market speaks about Summer Celebrity, as David Elsworth would like nothing more than to send out another winner at one of his favourite courses. The last named has a fair bit of stamina in her pedigree and is one to note for future reference. Vino (will only run if the ground is suitable) represents a top yard and looks sure to pay her way in time. She is one to note today, as she will not be harshly assessed when going into handicaps. Whistle Away has race fitness on his side and comes here on the back of a fair effort last time. The ground should not be a problem and he is one to seriously monitor in the betting. However, the form of Highland Blaze's solitary start as a juvenile is working out well and the mount of Frankie Dettori appears to have been found a reasonable opportunity to get a confidence boosting win under his belt before going on to better things.
