Alberta has been hurdling without success since winning over 1m4f at Epsom. Gleese The Devil has posted a couple of woeful efforts since winning at York in October and Fern Owl has not threatened since scoring over track and trip in September. Bracken Brae has been in decent form over shorter trips and won at Chelmsford recently but Wolf Of Windlesham is 10lb higher than his course and distance success back in March. TIMEKEEPING has the most scope and having won a maiden race over 1m4f, the Godolphin colt should improve further upped in trip for only his second start in a handicap.
