Alfredo tumbled down the weights last year and made a belated comeback with a placed effort at Bath on his first outing after wind surgery. But all five wins so far have been on the all-weather and SOLO SAXOPHONE looks the one to side with in this match having been beaten only a neck in soft going at York last time with Ryan Moore taking over the reins today.
