In depth
Verdict
Sir Albert won well on his debut, should improve for the step up to six furlongs and holds every chance. Countykat has an interesting pedigree and should improve in time. Mark Johnston's runners always command respect in these races although today's runner is a little hard to assess. Moon At Midnight can provide a benchmark for the value of the form.
