ALBA DEL SOLE is edging closer and was beaten only a length when stepped up to 6f at Kempton last time. The Gosden filly is just preferred to Brigand, who made a promising start when going close at Pontefract on his debut. A course and distance winner, Episcia never figured in a handicap last time but has the beating of Mother of Dragons while Arden Pearl had a tough task at Newmarket last time but won a maiden at Windsor before that.
