Although ALSAKIB was underwhelming at Catterick last time his Wetherby hurdle debut second prior to that was quite promising and this smart Flat performer might be worth another chance back from a breathing operation. Kelso runner-up Quercus Robur is second choice ahead of hurdle newcomer Lyric, who achieved useful form on the Flat in his 3-y-o campaign.
