The market should prove highly revealing but it could still pay to side with ALBA CRUS who travelled strongly for a long way when a promising debut fifth at Uttoxeter last week and seems sure to take a step forward here. Usyk and Masked Mistress appeal as the pick of the debutants and could emerge as the pair to give Warren Greatrex's gelding most to do in that order.
