It's a matter of keeping things simple and siding with ON ALBERTS HEAD in this modest-looking handicap.

He has gone off favourite on his last four starts and will go off hot favourite once again.

Two runs ago he came up against the improving Prince Khuram, who has won twice since - racking up a hat-trick.

On Alberts Head stepped up in trip next time out when ridden with more restraint and was unlucky not to have won having blundered the final hurdle, ultimately costing him victory. It can also be argued that he may have hit the front too soon at Newton Abbot.

A couple of negatives are that he has only one win to his name in 23 starts and secondly, this is coming quickly on the back of his latest run.

However, it is very difficult to enthuse about most of his opposition and a repeat of his last couple of starts is likely to be good enough to get a deserved victory today.

Number One London didn't shape badly after a long lay-off and if he is able to build on that run he is feared.
