Verdict
All About Alice is only rated 49 so will be carrying 18lb of overweight. Mister Camacho is still seeking a first victory but was second over this trip at Redcar so stamina won’t be an issue. Soul Stopper won a maiden a Salisbury last month but a line through the third suggests he has a bit to find with MUGADER (NAP), who relished the extra distance at Doncaster and was value for more than his winning margin. Choirmaster needs fast ground so could enter the equation if the ground dries out more than predicted.
