Almaas hasn't made the anticipated progress this year and is worth opposing again back in maiden company while the John Dunlop yard continues to struggle for winners and Estebsaal disappointed at Sandown after going close on debut at Newmarket. POSITIVELY was well beaten on her debut on Turf at Newbury but ran a lot better when third at Kempton on the Polytrack next time, despite failing to justify favouritism. The winner of that race was fourth in a Listed contest at Yarmouth earlier this week so that looks decent form and Sir Michael Stoute's filly can make it third-time lucky here. Roger Ramjet has a decent pedigree and could prove the pick of the newcomers.
