      Verdict

      Poppy Wallton has been up with the pace on all three starts so far and will certainly go well on this good to firm ground. Alfa McGuire and Echo are expected to tuck in behind, with ALFA MCGUIRE, waiting for jockey Graham Lee to press the button. The Duffield yard are 3/8 at this meeting in the last four years, bringing Troop in to the mix.
