ALAFDHAL (11) placed 0.5L third at Lingfield attempting this journey. Receives unkind draw. Useful jockey on board to help overcome this. Top pick. DARLO PRIDE (3) rates highly. Finished top three on his previous three starts. Produced a smart 0.75L third over 5f at Newcastle. Main danger. AGOSTINO (2) was below par in the aforementioned Lingfield contest finishing sixth. This came after a win and a runner-up effort both at Chelmsford prior. Needs to rediscover that form. PAPA DON'T PREACH (9) holds course and distance claims.
