Formscan  - Not in action since lading the Golden Gates Stakes at Royal Ascot last June, HAND OF GOD has all the potential to progress into a Group performer this season. Ryan Moore getting back on board suggests connections mean business and it may be top-weight Arabian Light who gives him the most to think about, having scored comfortably over this trip at Meydan in February. Another gelding who could have lofty aspirations this season is Approval, who got up late to score in a valuable handicap at Goodwood last August.
