AL ALAALI may well improve with a visor applied for his handicap debut and Harry Burns taking 3lb off his back. Imaginary World is another handicapping for the first time and is upped in trip on his first start since October while Khal can do better today with January’s outing at Lingfield under his belt. Outrace looks pretty exposed off his current mark but usually goes well.
