Verdict
ALFRAAMSEY finally took advantage of his slide down the weights when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago. A 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him following up now he's got his head back in front and he can confirm running with the second Scommettitrice. The latter is also back to something like his best and can figure once again, while Bachelor Knight has yet to win on the all-weather, but is back on a winning mark if reproducing his best turf form. Rhal may appreciate the drop back in trip after being placed over 7f last time and looks best of the rest.
