However they are certainly G1 standard here and quality can make up for quantity. Current favourite is O'Brien's The Lion in Winter, a Sea The Stars colt who is 2 from 2 and will have Ryan Moore on board.

Shadow of Light is one of the Godolphin runners and is 3/1 for Appleby-Buick. He's by Lope de Vega and has had four starts for three wins and a second.

However we have a slight leaning towards the stablemate Ancient Truth, a Dubawi colt who will be partnered by James Doyle. He's 3 from 3 so far including 2 c&d wins and one of these at G2 in the Superlative, He's value on 7.2 if you can get it.
