Cape Of Dance has been well beaten on both starts this year and Ash Cloud showed only a modicum of improvement when stepped up to 1m4f last time. The more experienced pair Bell's Ocean and Casino Night are struggling off their current marks and handicap debutant Let's Face Facts is a doubtful stayer, so the vote goes to ALAREEN. The Godolphin filly was sent off favourite for her reappearance at Nottingham a fortnight ago and travelled well until fading badly in the closing stages. She's taken to make amends here with that run under her belt.
