Verdict

This looks fiendishly competitive but ALFA DUPLICATE ought to find this handy drop back down in class in her favour and whilst she's likely to face pace pressure on the front end, her willing attitude looks a real asset operating from the plum draw in stall 1. The likelihood of a contested pace will suit former C&D winner Knicks who is lurking on a dangerous mark. Beaumadier, Secret Mistral completes the shortlist.
