The Alamo has been woeful form either side of winning a seller at Ffos Las in July where he beat Hillgrove Angel. The former may well bounce back in this but REMBRANDT is preferred. The latter was competing in Class 3 company at Sandown on his latest start and can take advantage of the drop in class on today's terms. Hell Of A Lord and Edge have tough tasks at the weights and Ibrox has shown little in three starts in France.
