Newmarket Race 5 - Betway Godolphin Stakes (Listed)
CASTLEMONT (2) Made every post a winner to win by 3 1/4L last run at Southwell but up against a more competitive field. Goes down in weight. Leading chance. FORTITUDINE (3) Led all the way to win by a margin of 2 1/4L last start at Kempton but competing in a higher grade. Dropping weight. Will go well. KOKBASTAU (4) Charged home to win last time at Sandown and has a good draw. Unbeaten last 3 runs and honest performer putting a tidy record together. Should get going late. Good place bet. ARCHERS BAY (1) Was strong late when 3rd beaten by 1L last run at Ascot and drawn well. Going well this campaign but competing in a more challenging grade. Honest and strong place bet in this race.

Was amongst the placegetters when 3rd last run at Ascot and gets the perfect draw. Putting up notable efforts this campaign but up against stronger competition. Questions at this level.

Was much too speedy in front when winning by 3 1/4L last run at Southwell but facing a stronger class. Gets a reduction in weight. Holds a major chance.

Led from start to finish when winning by 2 1/4L last start at Kempton but facing stiffer opposition. Flying this preparation with 2 wins from as many runs. Attracts support.

Ran on strongly to win last time at Sandown and has a positive draw. Maintaining a perfect record the last 3 runs and promising career start. Overlook from a betting angle.
