Although it may be a little early for Sir Mark Prescott's runners to be hitting top form, it is reasonable to expect that Albanova will not be wanting for fitness as she makes her reappearance today. She improved with each outing last season and was far from disgraced when she lost her unbeaten tag in Group 1 in France last September. The James Fanshawe-trained Prompt Payment also progressed nicely last season and, with the ground in her favour, she is taken to give the selection the most to do. Both can be followed with interest this term. Persian Lass is the best of the rest.
