ALABAMA's four latest starts have all been at Listed level and he hasn't been beaten far. This represents a drop in class and he should get off the mark though Emerald Banner will have her supporters after last week's narrow defeat by Prime Art at Naas. She also had Vanity Pays behind at Navan earlier and should again take care of Paddy Twomey's filly. The remainder will need to find improvement to take a hand.
