Verdict
Juan Alonso came up against a decent sort when second at Goodwood before scoring at Brighton. He looks to be on upward curve but experience of this course is never a bad thing and MIME DANCE won over track and trip earlier this month, despite pulling himself up when hitting the front. Thomas Brown will have to play him late but a follow-up could be on the cards. Intermath is a reliable sort while Faintly is a winner over this trip and wasn't beaten far over a mile at Salisbury last time. Floating Ballerino won at Windsor last month but was then well beaten off his new mark at Newmarket.
