The Listed contest won by Ya Hayati over 1m2f a fortnight ago holds the key to this. Godolphin had the first six home in the race with Star Safari and BRILLIANT LIGHT (NAP) third and fourth. The former held a reasonably prominent place before running on but the latter never got into contention then burst through when the race was all over SO can take this over the extra 2f. The owners have half of this 16-strong field including Global Storm, a dual Newmarket winner and another likely to be suited by the longer trip. Away He Goes, a winner over this trip at Doncaster in September, made a very promising debut on the track three weeks ago but Recordman's short-head victory in a non-Carnival handicap may not be good enough.
