Verdict

There were plenty of positives to glean from HAFEET ALAIN's belated reappearance fourth over this C&D a fortnight ago and, likely to strip fitter this time, he could be the answer. Orbaan was runner-up in that handicap and should be on the premises once more, but bigger threats may be posed by the consistent Fresh, who is unexposed at this trip, and last year's winner Tomfre.

  1. HAFEET ALAIN (IRE)
  2. FRESH
