Godolphin are represented by Light Burst and FAMOUS POET with preference for the latter, who ran green on his debut behind Tidy Affair at Epsom and will have benefited greatly from the run. Light Burst hasn't been seen since finishing last of four behind Sixx at Salisbury in May and though none of the trio in front of him have won subsequently it was still a fair effort and better can be expected. Never Satisfied has shown some promise but it's the newcomer Born To Surprise who may prove the biggest threat as he's the third foal of a Group 1 winner who has already produced two winning juveniles.
