Fall In Line has won his last six races and is taken to make it seven here with Masquerader and Zalkani the pair likely to give him the most to think about. The selection had a prolific spell at the start of the year when he racked up this winning run of six in the space of just a fortnight. He has had a nice break since then and he may still be one step ahead of the handicapper. If he is fit enough to do himself justice then he should take plenty of beating. Masquerader is the Godolphin representative here and he appreciated the step-up to this trip when beating Spectral Star over this course and distance last time. This colt remains unexposed and is entitled to plenty of respect on his handicap debut. Zalkani put up a fair effort on the turf at Folkestone last time when second behind Cup Of Love but he is much better here on the all-weather. However, he is probably better over a slightly shorter trip and for that reason we will take him on. Yankeedoodledandy is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he's becoming hard to win with and for the winner we will stick with the prolific Fall In Line.
