Given her stable's current form, it would be no surprise to see Aliante bounce back to form in a first-time visor. Between Us also represents a yard that's firing on all cylinders but she's been a huge disappointment so far and was tailed off at Lingfield last time. ASTROSCARLET didn't appear to last home over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on her latest start but an earlier third at Lingfield has worked out well and she may be better equipped to make her mark on Turf this year. Mark Tompkins' filly gets the nod with Al Karlovyyh probably best watched after returning to type here last time and Grand Liaison needing more if she's to get off the mark.
