Godolphin have their team in good order of late and can add to their winning tally with Calabash Cove here at the expense of Robustian and Vailed Applause. The selection was stepped up in grade at Newmarket after winning his maiden at Lingfield and a handicap at Ripon. He failed to trouble the judge last time out but was not totally discredited and now back in grade has to warrant respect. Robustian is five pounds higher for his latest victory at Sandown so life will tougher for him form now on. Having said that his trainer is doing really well of late so any market moves should be noted. Vailed Applause comes from another yard that is doing well. He is rarley out of the first three and this season has won two and finished second five times. Whatever happens he is sure to give anyone who backs him a run for his money and is only three pounds higher for his latest win at Wolverhampton so is to noted. But for the winner we return to Calabash Cove.
