Following a fourth at Kempton, Inn The Bull appears to have solid claims in a race like this. Alborkan has only won a Plumpton maiden so far but wasn’t beaten far when third at Leicester last month and is now tried in cheekpieces. Begin The Luck looks held on the form book but KALZARI was conceding weight all round when third on her UK debut and, thanks to her weight-for-age allowance, the boot is on the other foot here. She’ll strip fitter today and the Pipe stable is going well.
