Think Its All Over is an interesting candidate given his American pedigree but he has rather lost his way after a promising start to the season requiring his fans to take a leap of faith. There should be more to come from Bakongo, Goodlukin Lucy and Destiny Blue whilst the booking of Kieren Fallon for Tamtara takes the eye and he did finish strongly last time when partnered by John Fahy who teams up with Dhan Dhana who failed to get the run of the race when last seen. Snow Magic is another to be interested in following an unlucky in running outing at Wolverhampton but a chance is taken with handicap debutant ALUBARI who hails from an excellent family that the yard has done really well with over the years and he has shown enough in three starts in maidens to believe that he can make light of his initial mark over a trip that should suit.
