Verdict

In a really competitive nursery where there isn't a huge amount to chose between any of the runners we side with LAMH ALBASSER ahead of hat-trick hunting Sir Parky and progressive Rock Of Love. Godolphin's string have begun to find a bit of form recently and the pick might be able to capitalise on that and build on his last time out success on his second career start. The form has been franked from that and he'll have more help in the saddle with Frankie Dettori taking over. Sir Parky has won cosily on his last two efforts but faces a stronger challenge this time, however while in this mood he should go well. Mark Johnston's yard have been firing on all cylinders recently and Rock Of Love may be able to continue that having scored by nine lengths against weaker opposition on his first attempt over this trip on his last effort. Master Of Dance and Jehu are also on the shortlist after last time out successes but in a very trappy affair Lamh Albasser has the narrow verdict.
