Verdict
Alborkan will be sharper for last month’s fourth at Plumpton but the same can be said of COLDEN’S DREAM, who occupied the same finishing position at Worcester on his handicap debut. The latter gets a speculative vote over this shorter trip. Peckinpah and Robinshill return to action with a shout and the latter is back on a winning mark while Cogital has won twice on the Flat this year and scored off today’s mark over hurdles last term. Sayar slips further down the weights looking to end a long losing run.
