Verdict

Dark Ambition has had plenty of chances and Choisan's recent placed efforts came on soft ground. He had earlier finished ahead of Never Perfect over 7f here, while Brailsford and DETA SUNRISE made their debuts in the same race at Doncaster earlier this month. The former finished just ahead in fifth place, but the latter was hampered close home and John Gosden's charge is fancied to reverse running and come out best today. Godolphin debutants Guardi and Ibtahaj are worth noting, but the 120,000 euros newcomer Gabrial The Great could prove a bigger threat.
