Craving is the most exposed and found a couple too good in a novices’ race over a mile here last time. It could be a similar story today as he steps back up in trip with a couple of newcomers to look out for. Broderie makes her racecourse debut representing Godolphin but FIRLINFEU is preferred on breeding given he’s a brother to a winner and his dam won a Group 3 race over today’s distance. Sociologist may prove best of the remainder having made a modest start when fourth over track and trip a week ago.
