This looks a good opportunity for Young Alex to win his first race for nearly a year ahead of Sattam and the frustrating Bailieborough. The selection rarely runs a bad race and at these weights should prove too strong for these over his favourite trip and with ground to suit. Sattam is not the most straightforward of customers and his run to win ratio is poor. He ran well last time out however and should give the selection most to do in first-time shades. Bailieborough has his own mind about the game but has undoubted ability. This track may not suit but he will be finishing well and holds each-way claims. Young Alex is the choice in a tricky contest.
