Alemagna won this on good ground last year but is 4lb higher and will do well to get the better of the more progressive ICE SPRITE. The latter landed a double with a victory in testing going at Windsor last time and there looks more to come from the Haggas filly given the ease of that success. Margaret Dumont showed some improvement at Sandown recently though that was over 1m6f while Point In Time will appreciate the underfoot conditions returning to this shorter trip. Dual bumper winner Urban Artist landed a maiden on the Flat last month and makes her handicap debut.
