ALEXANDRETTA returned to action with a second at Salisbury and has now placed over 7f in all three starts. She should settle better over this extra distance and go close. Fleurir is more exposed though was beaten only a neck at Newmarket while soft going may have been an excuse for Endless Power’s poor effort at Thirsk. Dreamrocker is a half-sister to former stablemate and Group 1 winner Dreamloper while Arctic Mountain and Motriff are other newcomers to keep an eye on.
