Alafdhal finally opened his account with a victory over a shorter trip at Yarmouth while Hachert has returned a losing favourite the last twice now. Redredrobin has gone close recently and is preferred to others recently placed in Trusty Scout and Alsamyahr but it could be the turn of BOLD TERRITORIES. The latter showed some improvement for a slide down the weights when a close-up fourth at Newcastle last time and another bold bid is expected.
