Lady Alavesa confirmed earlier promise at Ffos Las last month. But that was on heavy ground but the extra furlong here should help her get competitive. Archie Perkins races off the same mark as when just beaten over 7f here last week so can’t be ignored while Kylie Rules may fare better in this lower grade. FAR DAWN ran his best race so far at Bath last month. He’s gone up 3lb for that but is probably capable of better so gets a tentative vote ahead of Marsh Storm and Admiral Spice.
