Verdict

ALSVINDER is best on the all-weather surfaces and finished runner-up in this grade at Wolverhampton last time. He can race off the same mark today and is makes more appeal than Dazzling Des, who went close over track and trip a week ago but is upped in class for this. Thegreatestshowman has placed without threatening the last twice while Charming Kid was narrowly beaten at Newcastle before struggling at Kempton.
