Mubtasim and On The Warpath are closely matched on Meydan form and need respect, for all it's been rather a mixed week for Godolphin . GAME PLAYER was really hitting his straps when last seen in the autumn, and looks one to follow in handicaps this season, with his in-from trainer's decision to run here rather than find an easier opening looking significant. Gilgamesh may have a dwindling army of followers, but this talented colt still gives the impression he can win a big prize when everything drops right, and he is feared most.
