PRINCE SIEGFRIED is in form and can land this listed contest at the main expense of Baila Me, who has fitness to prove after a year out. Dream Lodge is also on our shortlist. The selection is Godolphin's first string in the race and confirmed his earlier promise by waltzing to victory in a pretty decent conditions race on his latest run. Prior to that he placed in a Group Two contest in France and is clearly very useful. Stablemate Baila Me has some solid pattern form to her name in France and Germany. Alan Munro rides her here. Dream Lodge was second in the Strensall Stakes at York while Wasan is probably returning to his best trip.
