Fields Of Athenry made a winnng start over track and trip but is penalised today and the runner-up Sunvisor has decent claims of turning the tables. New King was sent off favourite at Lingfield on his debut but never figured in fourth while Crimewave could go well down in trip today after finishing fifth at Newmarket in October. Mojave is a newcomer to note but Godolphin introduce MARHABAN and he's preferred. The latter is a 240,000gns brother to this year's French 2000 Guineas runner-up Hey Gaman and Charlie Appleby's colt may prove good enough at the first time of asking.
