Verdict

The constitution for racing of Albuhera is unquestionable and Paul Nicholls' charge has another good opportunity to expand upon what has already been a good haul of prize-money gained by the gelding this season. Contraband has a little to find with the selection on a line through Dictum and is passed over in favour of Fleet Street as the one likely to provide the selection with the most to do. However, it remains to be seen how this small field will suit Nicky Henderson's charge and he may not get the fast pace he needs. Therefore, the versatile Albuhera is given another vote of confidence as he sets out to secure win number seven from what will be his eleventh start over timber.
