In depth
Verdict
This looks to be very much between the two newcomers - Alpha Echo and Green Line. Alpha Line hails from the Aidan O'Brien stable and is a well bred son of Spinning World. although the yard have suffered a few reversals with newcomers of late his chance has to be seriously respected. Sir Michael Stoute saddles Green Line in the colours of The Queen and this colt by leading sire Green Desert has been going up well at home. Of those with experience preference is for Indian Country who found only one too good on his debut at Newcastle earlier in the month and should appreciate this better surface. Jan Brueghel looks best of the rest.
