    Verdict

    It's difficult to fault the consistency of Rivas Rhapsody, who has yet to finish out of the first two in seven starts on Turf and the Polytrack. She only went down by a nose in a blanket finish over 6f at Newmarket last month and the return to 7f won't be a problem. But we just prefer ALBASPINA, who hails from the in-form Sir Mark Prescott yard. She hasn't been seen since winning on her debut at Carlisle last September but has a superb pedigree and connections will be anxious to win a race with her as a three-year-old with a profitable career at stud beckoning. Serene Oasis, already successful at Lingfield and Newmarket this year at this distance, can also play a part.
