Alchemist Master is fancied to land the hat-trick; possibly at the main expense of Danelor and Hills Of Gold, who both hold decent claims in this company. So too does Cryfield now that he arrives here on the back of a confidence booster last time and is one that is capable of spoiling the party if he is in the right frame of mind today. However, like a few of the rest, that cannot be guaranteed and he is for the brave only. Therefore, Alchemist Master, who only picks up a 4lb penalty for his latest success, comes here at the top of his game and may not have stopped improving yet. This is a stiffer test than he has faced of late but, considering that he has won or finished second in his last five starts, Alchemist Master is given the benefit of the doubt today.
