Dubai Future is a noteworthy newcomer for Godolphin. Vitralite carries a penalty on vastly different ground seeking to follow up his recent 7f course debut success while the filly Laurier is open to substantial improvement from her Kempton debut sixth, although she'd have made considerably more appeal on an artificial surface. Therefore, perhaps the safest option is to stick with the Sir Michael Stoute-trained JOYFUL MISSION who made a promising start in a Newmarket maiden in April, and that form just about sets the standard.
