TYLOS has the form in the book having missed out by only a head at Ffos Las and can go one better receiving weight from the penalised Sharp Riposte. The latter won over 6f at Newcastle while both Withering and To Everest also step up in distance with preference for the former. Godolphin are represented by runners from different yards with Royal Lodge entry Al Jaddaf, a half-brother to the smart Dee Ex Bee, making more appeal than Beautiful Colour.
