Some prolific winners in this contest including Alambic and French Mannequin and we will side with the former, Imposter is an outsider that can also make an impact. Having landed five races in a row, Alambic had a temporary blip at Haydock before scooting in at Musselburgh last time. A six pound penalty may not be enough to stop Sir Mark Prescott's filly going in again this afternoon. French Mannequin comes here in great form having landed a seller and handicap in great style. She looks the obvious one to bustle up the selection. Imposter is from a top yard and although none too consistent he does look well in on the pick of this season's form. The best of the rest could be Rose Bien, but our idea of the winner is Alambic.
