In depth
Verdict
Bedford Flyer is penalised for winning at Lingfield and ALLIGATOR ALLEY was beaten in a higher grade on Turf last time. The latter had won a tougher sprint than this over course and distance before that and gets another chance back on Tapeta. Rhythm N Hooves remains 7lb higher than his Ascot win back in June while Spangled Mac’s win at Newbury two runs ago came over a longer trip but Mondammej went close here last week having slipped down the weights.
