Modun can return to winning ways

The September Stakes at Kempton (2.30) catches the eye this afternoon and it provides a nice opportunity for last year’s winner, Modun, to return to winning ways.

One of two runners for Godolphin, with Silvestre de Sousa riding Calvados Blues for Mahmood Al Zarooni and Harry Bentley on the selection for Saeed bin Suroor, the five-year-old showed some of his old spark on his last outing and will be hard to keep out of the fold if finding his best form now.

De Sousa is clearly the more experienced pilot and, presumably, had the choice, and his mount, Calvados Blues, had some very good form on the turf at a higher grade in Meydan last year.
