Verdict
Away At Dawn has proved consistent without getting his head in front and now faces a couple of four-year-olds here who could make life difficult. Alborkan was always in control when benefiting from previous experience to run out a convincing Plumpton winner and should enjoy this sharp track on good ground. Tuned For Power was behind in third that day on debut but should improve for the run without turning tables. GILBERTINA is a consistent filly who always seems to run her race and she gained due reward with a Doncaster success last time. There's little between her and Alborkan on form but her 7lb allowance may prove the decisive factor.
