ALL ABOUT ALFIE beat Sheilas Wish comfortably in this a year ago and is just 4lb higher. He's had little racing subsequently but will have been primed for a repeat and gets the vote. Crouching Harry has never won on the Flat but has a victory on testing ground over timber to his credit. He's running well enough to be considered along with Crystal Earth, who hasn't had much experience but ran her best race to date at the Curragh last time. Gothen Niece can go well as she won the second division of this a year ago on soft ground and finished a close second on her only other visit.
