Alfred Roller is interesting now dropped in class here, while On Alberts Head is a more obvious contender, though he needs to iron out his jumping when put under pressure. He could again go well but might succumb to HONGKONG ADVENTURE , whose hurdling career may be about to take shape after a promising effort last time. The step up in trip and booking of the champion jockey both look very positive moves. Bandol , Zamoyski and Stonemadforspeed are others who should be in the hunt for prize money.
