In depth

Verdict

Alligator Alley overcame trouble in-running to land a York Listed race and ended the season in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Sprint. He has a better draw than stable companion Summer Sands, who scored at this level for Richard Fahey on heavy ground at Redcar. WHEELS ON FIRE, a winner in France, made a fine debut for Aidan Fogarty when a close third in the Group 2 Flying Childers at Doncaster and with further progress likely can take this. Aidan O'Brien's pair Pistoletto, just touched off in a Newmarket Group 3 in October, and Ascot Listed winner Southern Hills, are obvious dangers along with Cork winner Nurse Barbara in a competitive event.
