Verdict
Though failing to land the odds on her reappearance at Yarmouth, ALSACIENNE (NAP) should be capable of winning a race like this as her breeding suggests she will improve the further she travels. Fandango confirmed recent improvement when scoring at Chepstow but has another 7lb to carry here, though he holds Le Tissier on Bath running. Jupiter Custos is a previous course winner but neither he nor fellow four-year-old Deluxe make much appeal on recent form.
