ALEXANDRAKOLLONTAI gained her fourth victory on this track last week when comfortably seeing off her four rivals. She arrives with a 6lb penalty but Connor Beasley's claim takes care of half of that and with this stiffer test sure to suit she can gain track victory number five. Tellovoi bounced right back to form at Newmarket where he was only caught in the dying strides on ground that may have been too sticky for him. Al Khan is on his fifth trainer and didn't handle Chester last time but his overall form gives him a shout at a decent price. Bajan Bear and Indego Blues represent Dandy Nicholls with the former, who will appreciate the drop in grade, likely to prove best of the pair at this stage as the latter hasn't run for almost a year. Baron Run won a better-grade handicap here at the beginning of the month but couldn't cope when stepping up to the Ayr Bronze Cup.
