Verdict

This looks at the mercy of MAMBO DANCER, who came good at Newcastle last time, making all the running, and it's not difficult to see a similar scenario unfolding here. We know how tough Mark Johnston horses are to pass when allowed an easy time on the front, and the follow-up looks likely. Alternate Route would look the forecast option on paper, but he may not be straightforward and preference is for Milord, from a yard going well at present and might find this a bit easier.
