In depth
Verdict
Alkhor won at Lingfield before placing at Ripon a week ago and is upped in class. But GOLDEN AMBER is preferred on her close-up fifth at Doncaster earlier this month behind Wentworth Falls when Flying Pursuit was well beaten. Dean Ivory’s mare should be in the mix again racing off the same mark today. Udontdodou is capable at this level and further improvement is expected this year while Zac Brown is not out of this back on the all-weather after a poor effort at Bath.
