The narrow defeat of Wichita at Doncaster couldn't have worked out any better for MOLATHAM and with the proven, strong form in the book, it will take a good sort to turn him over. There are plenty of promising types in opposition, however, including Military March. He is beautifully-bred and made a taking debut back in July with the extra 1f perfect for him. This is a rare Group race for juveniles that Aidan O'Brien hasn't won and relies solely on Persia, who was impressive at Gowran last time.
