ALBAHR (NAP) stuck on well to score over course and distance over a month ago, after which the son of Dubawi was gelded five days later. He should go on improving and Frankie Dettori - on a rare Saturday night north - is booked by Godolphin. Tudor has shaped well enough on both starts, although he looks as if he'll need to improve again. He's highly likely to benefit from this seventh furlong. The record of Tom Dascombe at this track is there for all to see and his Box To Box came home quite nicely over this trip in a Sandown maiden and is going the right way. The market should sort out the newcomers, of which Hypersonical appeals most on paper.
