ALBERTUS PICTOR has improved with every start and step up in trip and got off the mark over 1m2f in a maiden here last month. Still showing signs of inexperience in the closing stages, there should be more to come from Sir Mark Prescott's charge over this longer distance as he gains in confidence and he gets the nod. Traphalgar needed the application of headgear and a drop into plating company to get his head back in front here last month and Green Wadi makes more appeal judged on his recent Kempton form. Archie Rice looks best of the rest.
