EMBLEM EMPIRE is penalised after opening his account at Lingfield but both placed horses have subsequently won and the Gosden’s colt should make another bold bid. Master Of Combat showed some promise when third at Ripon on his debut and is preferred to Motarajja while Traila looks a likely improver but Richard Kingscote abandons him for the newcomer Atacama Desert. The latter includes Breeders’ Cup winner Main Sequence among his winning relatives while Famous Star is related to five winners and is another to keep an eye on.
