After scoring at Musselburgh, Folkestone and Yarmouth, Alambic can complete a four timer for Sir Mark Prescott, with recent winners, Bronze Dancer and Abstract Folly others to look at. It¿s significant that Alambic is turned out quickly after his Yarmouth success of two days ago before the handicapper has a chance to re-assess him and he carries a six pound penalty here. He has appreciated being stepped up in trip this season and can be followed until beaten. Abstract Folly doubled his winning tally when scoring at Catterick last time, when waiting tactics worked the oracle. He is capable of running well here but is up against a well handicapped rival and given his wins to runs ratio he can be taken on. Bronze Dancer upset a short priced favourite over the course and distance last time and can go well, but a six pound penalty may be prohibitive and his wins to runs ratio does not bode well
