Verdict
Tarbawi sports Godolphin's first colours after finishing runner-up at Warwick last month but the newcomer Three Streets is a half-brother to French Derby winner Anabaa Blue among others and is not easily overlooked. Exclusion is out of a prolific mare and is another debutante to note while Banovallum had Midnight Warrior a length behind when second over C&D earlier this month and he can figure. Millers Wharf has claims but has had plenty of chances and the vote goes to COUNTRY WESTERN, well beaten in a much better maiden at Goodwood last time but a close-up third at Newmarket on his debut and fancied to improve on that here.
