Verdict

Most of these have questions to answer after absences and/or poor efforts last time. ALFIE'S CHOICE has no such issues having attracted support on his return when finding one too good. There is enough scope about him to overcome a rise in the weights and the yard have been going very well. Waterloo Warrior reserves his best for this track and has place claims. For Carmel is a likely big improver following his recent return and with this trip having produced his best efforts in Ireland.
  1. Alfie's Choice
  2. Waterloo Warrior
  3. For Carmel
