Transit, Alphabetical. and Tom Fruit are three agaisnt the field in a trappy handicap and the narrow vote is given to Alphabetical. The selection was a fair sixth in a better race behind Lucifer Bleu last time out, this looks easier and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Transit rates the main danger as he will relish the ground but he has two ways of running and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Tom Fruit is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Classic Capers he should appreciate this shorter trip and should bve watched in the msarket with his yard in form. Archie Babe is another that will like the ground but he has yet to prove he stays this far and with this in mind for the winner we return to Alphabetical to small stakes.
