Leadership will be a warm order for this Listed event and has a very good chance of making a winning seasonal return. His second to Asian Heights in the September Stakes at Kempton last Autumn stands out on form and, given that Godolphin have them fit and ready to run first-time up, he can make a winning return. The joint-highest-rated in the contest are Gallant Hero and Potemkin. The former, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, is lightly raced but has yet to progress from his first two starts as a three-year-old, so the jury is out to a degree. The latter is trained by Richard Hannon and he won a below-par Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown last year. Putra Sandhurst has shown little upon returning from injury, while Imoya, a maiden winner over course and distance, is promising but has a bit to find on overall form.
