Roger Varian's string appears to be back in form but Alizoom is one of several in this stepping up in distance. Horrah, Calvados Spirit and Kylla Instinct all tackled a mile last time, however, though the latter has won over 7f twice and rarely runs a bad race. WRAPPED only won a maiden over this trip at Redcar but William Haggas must think she has more to offer and tries his filly in cheekpieces today to find the extra necessary to win a race like this. He's My Cracker was just beaten by an older rival last time and also has claims but Ballylare didn't beat much at Lingfield and is 4lb higher.
