        Verdict

        The Gosden yard has won this four times in the last nine years and LORD OF LOVE is a full brother to 1m2f winner Governor Of India so it would be no surprise to see the son of Dubawi in the shake-up. The Reverend is a full brother to Group 2 winner Angel Power and is preferred to fellow Haggas newcomer Kilt, a half-brother to 7f winner Doom. Hutchence and Aulis represent Ralph Beckett and Great Chieftain is also worth a market check while Godolphin’s Strong Opinion may prove the pick of those with experience, even though he was beaten more than 10 lengths over track and trip nine days ago, as Redcar winner Valentine Catcher is shouldering a penalty.
