Expressionless got off the mark at Nottingham earlier this month and should make a bold bid to complete the double but Ludo's Landing was only 1-9 from last season and Buy The Dip has proved best on the all-weather so far. Serious Look won over 7f here last year and has had a run this term while Rule Of Thumb should do better now handicapping but it would be no surprise to see ALPHA CRUCIS (NAP) defy a penalty for winning at Windsor.
