BOLD STYLE was only a neck behind Boiling Point in a well-contested C&D conditions race last month and, with the likelihood of better to come from the Godolphin colt, he is taken to reverse the placings with Roger Varian's charge and emerge on top. Boiling Point is nonetheless greatly respected, particularly judged on his close second to subsequent Dewhurst runner-up Alyanaabi in a Group 3 here in September, while Alaskan Gold wasn't disgraced in the Greenham and should be in the mix, too.
