Alambic makes a quick reappearance and should follow up, with Ollie George, Bob's Your Uncle and Alwaysforsale the ones to chase her home. Sir Mark Prescott is never one to miss an opportunity with a well-handicapped inmate, and that is just what Alambic appears to be at present. The filly absolutely bolted up when trouncing Sudden Impulse by eight lengths at Musselburgh on Monday, and despite a 6lb penalty, is still amazingly rated in the 40's. You can be certain that she will find another stone improvement as the season progresses, and it is hard to oppose her here. She gets lumps of weight off Ollie George and Bob's Your Uncle, and despite them both lining up in winning form, the pair have it all to do. So does Alwaysforsale who is at least going the right way, and his handicap mark should not be affected providing he does not get too close to the selection, Alambic who can justify her short price.
