Verdict

HERE’S ALICE is likely to get an uncontested lead and this is her easiest task to date. Charlie Hills’ filly has the same official rating as Dagian but has her 6lb allowance to fall back on and Amanda Perrett’s charge was disappointing at Windsor 12 days ago having finished second on that track in July. Cuban Fire has shown little in the way of ability so far and it’s even harder to fancy the once-raced Spectaculis.
