The two best efforts of Alsvinder have come on the all-weather but Jim Crowley is a notable booking and he'll prove the one to beat if handling this first taste of softened conditions. Francisco has a major absence to overcome, Seve hasn't been seen on turf since last September and Bahamian Sunrise has failed to beat a rival on his last two starts so all three cannot be confidently considered. STONEYFORD LANE was well beaten the last day but that was in a better race at York and he previously did well to land a Class 4 Haydock sprint. He's effective on forecast conditions and is a viable alternative in receipt of 9lb from the topweight and likely favourite.
Seve 33-1 (9-2) Dwelt towards rear, never a factor, last of 6, 8l behind Stepper Point (9-7) at Chelmsford City 5f hcp (3) pol in Jun.
Francisco 9-1 (9-6) Held up towards rear, ridden over 2f out, never on terms, 9th of 12, 4 3/4l behind Under Siege (9-2) at Newmarket 6f hcp (4) gd in Sep.
Bahamian Sunrise 3-1 (9-7) Tracked leaders, ridden halfway, weakened over 1f out, last of 7, 21 1/4l behind Powerful Dream (9-3) at Bath 6f hcp (5) fm in May.
Stoneyford Lane (IRE) 22-1 (8-9) Always towards rear, weakened over 2f out, 13th of 14, 9 3/4l behind Excessable (9-7) at York 5f hcp (3) gf in Jul.
Alsvinder 18-1 (9-6) Took keen hold, mid-division on outside, headway over 1f out, edged left and led inside final furlong, headed towards finish, 2nd of 10, hd behind Saved My Bacon (9-3) at Chelmsford City 5f hcp (4) pol in Jul.
