Verdict

ALSVINDER is on a long losing run but is a past winner here and usually keeps better company. He is also fit from the all-weather so can finally get his head back in front. Captain Corcoran won over track and trip last August but is not easy to catch right with Not On Your Nellie more consistent. Harrogate has tumbled down the ratings but his form has yet to show any benefit.
