      Verdict

      Angel Alexander has found one too good in both starts now after returning a losing favourite at York. But this looks no easier as the debut fourth of ALUQAIR at Nottingham looks better in hindsight. Simon Crisford’s colt wasn’t beaten far behind subsequent Group 3 Horris Hill winner Mohaather and gets the nod on the strength of that form. Mubakker is another likely improver and makes more appeal than Mawakib while Shanghai Grace failed to land the odds at Chelmsford having made a promising debut at Windsor before that.
