ALPINISTA is clear at the weights on her reappearance. She won a Listed race at Salisbury last season before finding only the high-class Love too good in the Yorkshire Oaks and there looks more to come from Sir Mark Prescott’s filly this year. Katara ran below par behind the selection when last in action but won a Listed contest on fast going at Newmarket with Makawee behind before that while Oriental Mystique shares ownership with the selection but has plenty to find on these terms.
