        Verdict

        ALEXANDRETTA is looking to bring a frustrating run of placed efforts to a winning end and may well do so in this company. First-time cheekpieces should help and Sir Mark Prescott has a good strike rate at this track. Love Lies is a likely improver and is preferred to Sacred Falls but the 140,000gns newcomer Minka, a sister to a Group 3 winner, may prove the biggest threat.
