Verdict
Alkopop ended last year in good form over hurdles though is 10lb higher than when last successful and debuts over fences. Dorking Lad returned a beaten favourite at Fontwell on his reappearance and chasing bow when fading badly but VOCALISER (NAP) has won seven times over fences and posted a better effort at Bangor on his first start after wind surgery. He’s back on a winning mark and Olly Murphy’s yard continues to fire-in the winners. Clondaw Promise finished a distant second at Uttoxeter recently while Allardyce has won over fences in Ireland and debuts for a new yard.
