Verdict
Alph was too keen when failing to land the odds at Ludlow last May. He must have a chance in this with that experience in the locker and his stable won this last year. Alan King trained the winner in 2016 and saddles Midnight Glance, the first foal to race of a winning hurdler/chaser who also landed a bumper. The Macon Lugnatic was second at Uttoxeter in November but disappointing when favourite next time at Warwick. Molly Ollys Wishes is out of a mare that won over fences and hurdles while Prudhomme was quietly fancied at Wincanton last month only to unseat Lizzie Kelly as the tapes rose. HIGHWAY ONE O TWO is out of Supreme Leader mare that won a bumper and has already produced useful jumpers Doctor Harper and I’dliketheoption. There is also speed in his pedigree so he is well worth a market check.
