Godolphin is doubly represented here but it's no surprise that William Buick has plumped for DESERT ORDER, who was second on debut at Newmarket and is bred to appreciate this longer trip. Stable companion High Honour is a full brother to winning miler Stormy Ocean but the Gosdens’ Arrest might be the danger given he was slowly away and then ran green when a well-backed favourite over 7f here two weeks ago. It’s interesting that Richard Hannon pitches the Nathaniel filly Night Life in against the boys on her first start.
