Verdict
The Godolphin yards both run a newcomer with Inqadh just preferred to Echo Of Dream but a few of these have already shown enough to suggest they can win a race of this nature, not least JUNO THE MUFFINMAN. He had an off-day when odds-on at Nottingham last time, but had pushed Wednesday's Doncaster winner Ghostwriting close over 7f here before that in a maiden that is working out really well. He's just preferred to Final Delivery, whose latest third at this track gives him every chance, while Swing Alone has some decent form in turf maidens and looks to have solid claims too.
