Bold Captain was only beaten half-a-length over 1m on soft ground here last time and should be thereabouts again. Personal Opinion was second over 1m2f at Haydock 10 days ago and is improving with experience but Mountain Fighter, very green on debut at Haydock last month, will carry Godolphin's first colours and probably has a bit more scope. Ruwasi has to be a danger as he'll have learned plenty for his debut when not far behind Bold Captain but MAMBO RHYTHM was doing his best work at the finish when second over 1m at Musselburgh last time and may well find the necessary improvement to get off the mark in this.
