Verdict

Global Hero made a winning start at Salisbury and ran well again under a penalty over 7f at Leicester when finishing ahead of REETH. But the latter has subsequently placed over a mile at Windsor and, given John Gosden won this last year with the subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Wissahickon, he gets the vote to reverse running with the Godolphin charge. Aweedram showed ability when placed at Salisbury on his debut and makes most appeal of the others with experience while Oliveto, a half-brother to a Group 2 winner, is preferred to fellow newcomer Molaaheth.
