        Verdict

        Alligator Alley disappointed at Newcastle when finishing behind fourth-placed MONDAMMEJ (NAP). But the latter returns to this venue for the first time since landing a course and distance double off higher marks back in 2021 and looks the one to side with. Intrinsic Bond still looks high enough in the weights but Chipstead returns to the all-weather having won off a higher mark on Turf earlier in the year. Glorious Angel can do better back over today’s minimum trip while Clarendon House and Rocket Rodney debut on the all-weather.
