Verdict

ALABASTER missed the whole of last year and has slid down the weights since returning to action. He came up against a progressive type when a well beaten second at Lingfield last time but this looks easier and Sir Mark Prescott’s grey gets the nod. Lopes Dancer has been in good form over shorter trips but will need to improve on his earlier attempt over 2m at Newcastle while Seinesational progressed nicely last year having won over today’s distance at Kempton in October but will be sharper for today’s outing. Bumper winner Country'n'western could get involved but winning hurdler Knight Commander has yet to score on the Flat and is racing from out of the weights.
