Godolphin won this last year with top-rated juvenile Pinatubo and Modern News also has excellent credentials having finished fifth in the Chesham Stakes after winning over this trip at Newmarket. Twaasol defied market expectations to make a winning start at Windsor and there should be plenty more to come but Mark Johnston will be hopeful that MUTAZAWWED can give him a sixth win in this. The Lingfield winner will need to take a big step forward but has untapped potential and has been chosen from three stable entries at the four-day stage. Inhaler is no slouch but, like newcomer Calcutta Cup, is possibly up against it in this.
