Verdict

ALLIGATOR ALLEY's losing run tempers enthusiasm but he's in better heart than recent form figures suggest and, undoubtedly lurking on a good mark, this could be the day he pieces it all together. Muker is an intriguing contender on return/yard debut for Paul Midgley and market support would look interesting on the back of an absence, with Modular Magic also not one to write off.
