Verdict
ALPEN POWER has faced tougher tasks than this since last seen in maiden company and gets another chance. Belle Flora posted a better effort at Lingfield and Just Rita showed some promise at the same fixture on her debut. Green Sigma is related to several winners with William Buick’s presence suggesting she’s preferred to stablemate Better.
