The retained Wathnan Racing rider James Doyle opts for REALIGN (7) over a handful of other leading contenders. That looks fairly significant and the unexposed William Haggas trained three-year-old may follow up his comfortable win on good-to-soft ground at Haydock (6f). FINE INTERVIEW (3) and EVENING SAIGON (14) both represent the same connections and warrant respect. The former knuckled down well to win by 1L over course and distance on soft ground fifteen days ago and could be in the mix once more while the latter returned from fourteen months off scoring at Chelmsford and might go well in handling the testing ground. Impressive last start Newmarket (Rowley) winner ROACH POWER (17) cannot be ignored up in trip.
