ALEXANDER JOHN ran well in three starts on testing ground at the Curragh before attempting to make all over 7f here and only caught inside the final furlong. Love Enchanted finished a long way behind though will have come on plenty for the experience. Song For Whoever didn't get close enough to threaten when runner-up over this track and trip in September but found 7f stretching his stamina the following month. Red Sky At Night has shown good pace on Turf and has changed yards and though Sumaffair was cheaply bought her stable, who also have Engines On engaged, continue in top form.
