Alexander M was much improved back on Turf at Goodwood last week and was only caught close home. Mark Johnston’s grey looks sure to go close here with a similar effort racing off the same mark. Nathan Mayer may do better now handicapping and Glorvina was only beaten half-a-length in a maiden auction at Beverley last month. Lunar Jet’s fourth at Haydock was his best run so far but he’d been well beaten over this longer trip at Doncaster earlier. CHOCOLATE BOX improved with every run last year and may do better still now there is more emphasis on stamina. Luca Cumani’s colt can make a winning reappearance.
