ALBA VERDE only needed the minimum of urging to finally come good at Lingfield a fortnight ago. The handicapper has taken no chances raising her 9lb but she'll appreciate the longer trip and can go in again. William Hogarth never looked like winning when third over today's trip at Newcastle and the Irish raider Luso's Way finished closer to the winner when only fifth at Down Royal last time. Osgood has been winning over hurdles of late but Honest Strike appears to have gone off the boil.
