ALBAASIL ran a very promising debut and now given a good draw looks the one to beat. Expensive and bred in the purple Sir Michael Stoute's runner was unlucky to bump into a classy more experienced rival on debut and with that unlikely here he should win. Power Punch has been progressive in two starts and should kick on again but won't be helped by being drawn out in the car park while So Is She is the benchmark but might be a little exposed in this company. Richard Fahey has done well with his juveniles so a bold bid can be expected from newcomer Cosmic Moon. An intriguing contest but Albaasil is bred to be better than this lot.
