There's a few on the up in the field but ALEXANDERTHEGREAT stands out on these terms as he has the profile of a horse who could end up a fair bit better than this level. With the leading rider booked for a top stable who are in great form he could take a lot of beating. Masters Apprentice had lost his maiden tag until the stewards intervened and can rectify that soon while Lyford now has his best trip identified and can progress again. Ochos Rios can be involved but isn't one to get carried away with for win only purposes while the main danger may be Ginger Lady who should get a stronger pace to aim at and has plenty more to offer over this C&D.
