NATIONAL TREASURE went close for Godolphin at Newmarket last summer. She’s switched yards since and may prove good enough on her return to action if running anywhere near a mark of 81. Yankee Stadium placed on the all-weather earlier in the year while Enthused is upped in trip on his debut for new connections. Bumper winner Punxsutawney Phil was well beaten on his first start under this code but Toutatis has placed in a couple of bumpers and debuts for David O’Meara.
