ALAROOS deservedly opened her account at Tramore in August and subsequently went down all guns blazing when runner-up over 10.7f here a fortnight ago. A 2 lb nudge for that looks fair and she is taken to resume winning ways back at this trip. Joupe and Cozone were separated by a whisker in a C&D handicap last month and they're likely to be in the thick of things once again, while handicap debutant Chilled Out and Fleet Commander both make some appeal.
