Verdict
Alazwar is fitted with headgear after failing to land the odds at Lingfield having won over track and trip before that. He’s conceding weight to younger horses on this occasion including WARM SMILE. The latter showed no improvement upped in trip last time but the Godolphin filly gets the vote on an earlier second over a mile at Kempton. Monteria finished fourth at the latter track last month and is preferred to Equion and Rocking Rosie while Karatayka drops down in distance on his debut for a new yard having placed over 1m2f in Ireland last year.
