DON'T TAKE ME ALIVE wasn't really enjoying the soft ground behind the in-form Cut The Cards at Southwell last time but stayed on well for second and the third has franked the form since. The four-year-old may well be good enough here getting 9lb from Cut The Cards' stablemate Strongly Suggested, who was beaten off a lower mark over a longer trip here two weeks ago. Callisto Moon and Bunratty would both have a chance at their best but lack a recent run.
