Verdict
Florida improved upped to a mile here a fortnight ago but AL ALAALI is fancied to land this. He was no match for a Godolphin hotpot when third over today’s trip at Chelmsford but that was his first outing since August and the Crisfords’ yard remains among the winners. Zafaan is a likely improver while Ben Hamrash is a brother to the Listed winner Dance Diva and fellow newcomer Gentle is a E180,000 half-sister to a winning sprinter.
