Verdict
LAHORE (NAP) was given plenty to do when sent to Deauville for a Group 3, where he lost his unbeaten record. This will be his first run beyond 6f but his dam won a Group 1 over a mile in Italy and he’s by a sire whose progeny tend to improve with experience so the trip shouldn’t be a problem and he could be well treated on a mark of 87. Night Circus only found one too good on his belated reappearance at Newmarket and Hyde Park arrives off the back of a win at Yarmouth, though soft ground would be a worry. Bengal Lancer is improving fast but Important Mission has been doing his winning on Polytrack. Six Strings has been running well against older horses so is preferred to Pillar Of Society and High Acclaim of the remainder.
