Godolphin and Mike De Kock generally have this between them and that could be the case here. Frankie Dettori takes the ride on RASSAM, who could hardly have been more impressive on his debut at Kempton in November, coming home well clear of subsequent winner Haaf A Sixpence. That was a very promising start and he appears to have more scope than Kinglet, who Frankie rode to victory at Newmarket in August. Mehdi ran in some good races last summer and can go well on his debut on an artificial surface and stablemate Right To Dream is better than he showed at Goodwood in July as he was impeded at the start. Bible Black landed a Dundalk Listed event in October but is likely to need further progress, a remark that also applies to compatriot Strait Of Zanzibar. Mike De Kock runs the Argentine import and Group 3 winner Enjoy Dubai and the York maiden winner Mickdaam and both are hugely respected in an interesting Guineas trial in which Singapore-based Dark Matter can also make his presence felt.
