CACHAO made a promising start when a close-up fifth at Kempton last month. John Gosden's colt makes most appeal of the three runners sporting Godolphin's colours ahead of Al Fattan and the newcomer Boethius. The more-exposed Canford Crossing went close at Chelmsford last time and could be in the mix while Aristocles, a half-brother to four winners, is a newcomer to note along with Rover Varian’s Mutawaaly.
