Maxwell and Open The Red can do better but Natural Nine has stronger claims having made the frame at Beverley last month. The latter should be in the mix along with Wentworth Falls, placed at Wolverhampton last time and preferred to Godolphin's other runner Global Force. The latter is a half-brother to a Listed winner but fellow newcomer ASSAGHER is related to the high-class pair Horatio Nelson and Viscount Nelson among others. Subsequent Listed performer Marzocco made a winning debut in this for John Gosden last year and his $200,000 colt can follow suit.
