Aleas was only beaten a neck at Salisbury on his debut and it was soft going when Wicklow finished third at Nottingham. Both can figure again but WALLEM just missed out on heavy ground at Leicester on his introduction and Andrew Balding’s colt gets the nod on that form. Marselan looks best of the rest with racecourse experience while Title and Keeper are both related to several winners. Kelmscott is a full brother to a winner in Germany and is preferred to Taraashoq.
