It's interesting to see Godolphin running a three-year-old but Wahgah looked as though she needed further than this when staying on at Newbury. Spanish Plume arrives in top form and a 4lb rise for a comfortable victory at Chester shouldn't prevent another big run. Le Deluge gained his first success on turf in a Redcar claimer for which he has to carry a penalty but ELTHEEB, though without a win for two years, looked on the way back with a fine run at Carlisle and is handed the vote. Shouranour is still a maiden but was staying on strongly over a mile at Ripon and is entitled to respect.
