Verdict
Royal Alcor has won on the Fibresand and the Polytrack lately but a hat-trick may be beyond Gay Kelleway's charge off his new mark back on Turf. Java Rose ran poorly at Goodwood last time while this trip has proved too far for Emman Bee in the past but Aloha stays further, though is struggling to get her head in front. FIRST SECRETARY made a bold attempt to follow up her Bath victory at Windsor but the winner got first run on her and she had to settle for second. Joey Haynes is good value for his 5lb claim and can steer Roger Charlton's filly back into the winner's enclosure. Rosie Rebel and Knight's Parade looks the pick of the remainder.
