The Alpha Man gained a shock 50/1 victory over the track and trip where the better ground was put forward as a reason for the improvement. Conditions should be similar here so a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run. Han Solo, who finished strongly into third, looks to have a good chance of reversing the form. Gatsby Cap pops up every now and then as he did at Gowran, though a 7lb rise makes this tougher, but Pink Pearl is stepping up from 6f. HOWLING WOLF (NAP) was going on strongly at the finish in a much better race than this over 7f at the Curragh last weekend and his rider's claim can help him take this.
