Race preview
Some very interesting newcomers in this, including Godolphin's Rebel's Romance and a pair of runners in Sheikh Mohammed Obaid's colours. Movin Time cost 170,000gns and the Roger Varian-trained colt is a half brother to a Group 3 winner, while the owner forked out 1million guineas for Manassas, a Dubawi half-brother to St James's Palace Stakes winner Without Parole who is trained by Kevin Ryan. All are worth keeping an eye on, but the racetrack experience of MERITORIOUS might prove crucial. John Gosden's colt had a subsequent winner behind when a close second at Newmarket and can go one better.
