Alessano is a tentative choice in a wide open handicap, Olimpo and Eldorado may provide most danger. Gary Moore's four-year-old hasn't quite hit top form this season but the signs were there last time when seven lengths behind Signatory in a very decent handicap. He comfortably beat that same rival at the end of last season and if running up to that form he will be hard to beat this evening. Olimpo is in hot form at present and loves it round here. The handicapper has taken note but we can still expect this one to be thereabouts again. Eldorado also hit winning form last time, comfortably beating Danger Zone at Salisbury. There could be more to come and he could be each-way value. Love Always is another worthy of respect, but if Alessano can recapture last season's form he will be hard to beat.
