Alfarris started favourite on his debut at Newmarket but took an age to warm to his task before staying on over that 7f trip. He looks easily the best of those with experience but there are some choicely-bred newcomers in opposition. Daira Prince is a half-brother to five winners including the very useful Chinese White. JOSHUA REYNOLDS is another with a top-class performer in his pedigree being a half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Speedy Boarding and he just gets the nod, though Tamleek is from a very useful family in the USA and his stable have found some form at last.
