9/2
Impressive winner of the Scottish Sprint Cup at Musselburgh (5f, soft) last spring and largely creditable efforts later in 2023. This is his first run since September but he's well capable off this mark if fully primed.

Won 6-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 16/1) 31 days ago, driven out. Only nudged up 1 lb and he was successful off a higher mark at York last spring.

Arrives on a hat-trick after 5f wins at Newcastle and Southwell in recent months. Has handy draw in 2 and should make another bold bid.

Latest win at Newcastle in August. Good third at Wolverhampton (5f) in November. Not at best when fourth of 7 at Southwell since but no surprise were he to bounce back off a mark which is potentially lenient on last winter's form (won off 6 lb higher).

C&D winner in November. 6/1 and visored first time, respectable second of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 30 days ago. Has 2 wins and a second to show from 3 previous outings over C&D so he has to enter the reckoning from a handy stall.

Successful at Kempton (6f) in October and Wolverhampton (5f) in November. Bit below form third of 7 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 30 days ago, not helped by a slowish start.

C&D winner. Latest win at Goodwood in August. Respectable 3¼ lengths fifth of 13 to Bergerac in handicap (18/1) at Southwell (5f) 39 days ago, never nearer.

Form has taken off on AW lately, completing a 5f 4-timer when leading close home at Wolverhampton (5f) 13 days ago. This thriving sort should go well again.

Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Off 4 months, creditable 1¾ lengths third of 10 to Diomed Spirit in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f, 10/3) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. First-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. Doesn't have a great strike-rate but he is on a workable mark.

Four-time course winner, the latest over this trip in December. Creditable efforts in defeat both starts since but he's 4 lb wrong at the weights here.

Forecasts

Silky Wilkie (9/2), Diomed Spirit (9/2), Bergerac (5/1), Bedford Flyer (13/2), Clearpoint (15/2), Alligator Alley (15/2), Chipstead (9/1), One Night Stand (12/1), Zarzyni (16/1), Lord Riddiford (25/1)

Verdict

Although ALLIGATOR ALLEY was below par last time he continues to look well treated on last winter's form and might be worth chancing as there's enough potential pace in this race to play to his hold-up style. Diomed Spirit and Bergerac arrive in top form and can give David O'Meara's charge most to do in that order.

  2. Diomed Spirit9/2
  3. Bergerac5/1
