Roost finished third of four runners at Haydock on last month’s debut and is preferred to stablemate Galilaeus. Glorious Lion and Alex The Great are likely improvers but this can go to a newcomer with TAGABAWA preferred. The Godolphin colt is related to the smart pair Manobo and Turgenev and my prove good enough at the first time of asking.
