Race preview
TRUMPET MAN built on a respectable Chelmsford debut to rattle the crossbar at Wolverhampton last month and Mark Johnston's Golden Horn colt, who is a half-brother to Australian Group 1 winner Polarisation, appears a winner in waiting now making the switch to turf. Secret Victory was sent off a warm favourite for his first outing and the Godolphin youngster is entitled to be popular once again. The 115,000gns Camelot colt King's Castle and St Just give William Haggas a useful hand and could be the pick of the newcomers, along with John Gosden's Almighwar, a Dubawi colt out of the handler's top-class Oaks winner Taghrooda.
