Cavalryman makes his eagerly awaited reappearance and looks sure to make a bold bid to supplement last year’s gains. He was a very impressive winner on that occasion, quickening over five lengths clear of Star Empire, and everything he did subsequently suggested he was potentially better than ever despite his advancing years. He should have won the Dubai Gold Cup, did win a pair of Group Twos in England and wasn’t totally disgraced when fourth to Pale Mimosa at York on his final start. He has become a Godolphin stalwart, and some would even argue he deserves the term legend, and given he clearly goes very well fresh, he should Cavalryman make them all go on Saturday.
