Verdict

We Still Believe scored on last year’s card and finished in front of a below-par Carter Cowboy when placed at Musselburgh last time. But ALPINE SIERRA finally showed some improvement for a slide down the handicap when beaten less than a length at the same track last week and Keith Dalgleish’s charge can open his account off his current mark. Fanzone won over 7f last month though earlier attempts over this longer trip fail to inspire confidence.
