Heir To A Throne is just 3lb higher than when successful over the track and trip in September where he battled on strongly at the finish. Alistair Whillans has done superbly with Alexandrakollontai, saddling her to all but one of her 11 career victories though she invariably needs her reappearance. Maifalki started out in a bumper but has won a maiden and a handicap at Wolverhampton in good style and could still be underrated on a mark of 82. Be Kool made a winning reappearance a year ago and ended the campaign landing a Class 5 handicap at Epsom, though he's been raised 7lb. Philip Kirby has acquired Secret Glance, who has been beaten in poor company on Fibresand recently but is much better on Turf, while Shamaheart is just 2lb higher than when scoring here in August though that was over 7f. British Embassy has a fair strike-rate on Turf but is now with his fifth trainer so the vote goes to ABUSHAMAH (NAP). Ruth Carr's charge has won twice over the course and distance, the latest in a Class 3 handicap off 1lb lower, and a run at Newcastle last month should have blown away the cobwebs.
