        Verdict

        ALBAFLORA made a winning reappearance in Listed company last year and ended the season with fine efforts in Group 1 contests at both York and Ascot. A repeat of either of those efforts would make Ralph Beckett’s mare hard to beat in this. Believe In Love went close in testing ground in a Group 1 in France in October while Hamish is hard to keep right though landed a Group 3 at Kempton on last year’s return to action. Ebor third Alounak was beaten by stablemate Invite in a Listed contest here last autumn while Thunderous hasn’t won since landing the 2020 Dante and John Leeper looks best of the rest.
