Verdict
The winner of four of his seven starts, Alben Star has leading claims racing over 7f for the first time. Palace Moon is proven over the distance, however, as he won over track and trip in January and has beaten Seek The Fair Land at Lingfield since. PRIMAEVAL is also a C&D winner and had Brave Echo behind when runner-up at Meydan last time. A one-time leading candidate for today's Lincoln, James Fanshawe prefers this option and it could pay to follow his trainer's lead. Rodrigo De Torres and Cochabamba will both need to step up on their recent efforts to get involved.
