SCREAMING PETRUS found a Godolphin horse too good over track and trip last week. But this looks easier and Dave Loughnane’s charge can open his account and confirm running with Early Morning Dew in the process. Serena's Symphony was still beaten a long way when runner-up at Chester while Gerrots has placed in France and debuts for new connections. Heart Of The Sun’s dam is related to an Irish Derby winner and she’s a newcomer to note.
