Tracked leaders, went 2nd 2f out, effort and every chance over 1f out, ridden inside final furlong, outpaced and no impression inside final 100 yards op 9/4 tchd 2/1 and tchd 11/4
Alsvinder (11/8), Scoundrel (5/2), Oriental Splendour (3/1), Burmese Blazer (7/1), Trulove (40/1), King Of Castilla (80/1)
Scoundrel and Burmese Blazer were first and third at Musselburgh in a lower grade race than this, although the runner-up has franked the form since. Oriental Splendour appeared to be coming to hand last time, but ALSVINDER beat a stronger looking field than this over C&D last time. Although up 4lb for that, he is still 22lb below his AW mark and looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up.
