Verdict
START TIME has obvious claims having been beaten only a head over today's trip at Brighton last month and the Godolphin charge gets the nod to go one better. Mr Globetrotter finished closer at Newcastle recently and steps up in distance along with Dolphin Vista and Beverley Bullet. Of the newcomers, the 120,000 euros purchase Tafteesh stands out with Icefall preferred to Bobby's Babe of Tim Easterby's two runners.
