Godolphin have two entries with ALBAHR likely to be a warm order after a brilliant juvenile campaign. A winning run which started with a narrow victory at Haydock in June, ended with a resounding success in the Grade 1 Summer Stakes on Turf at Woodbine and, though he'll need to demonstrate he acts on Dirt, he's a full brother to a winner on the surface. Night Of Luxury had a run on the mud here on New Year's Day but is unlikely to be good enough. Quality Boone was in winning form in Uruguay before landing a strong handicap over the track and trip in good style last month and like Kiefer, unbeaten in three runs at the same Montevideo track, has to be respected. The remainder will all need to improve on what they have shown so far.
