Verdict
ALBE BACK sets the standard with a narrow defeat by Machine Learner at Lingfield last moth. The third has won subsequently so Richard Hannon's charge should go one better. Al Hamd was noted staying on over 7f at Epsom on heavy going so further progress is likely while Calvinist is by Holy Roman Emperor out of a middle-distance winner so this trip should prove ideal in his first campaign. Scarlet Pimpernel is a half-sister to several winners, including a couple of juveniles, so is one to note.
