Verdict
ALTERNATIVE FACT split a couple of more experienced rivals when second on his debut over 7f at Newmarket last month. The way he stayed on inside the final furlong suggests this longer trip will suit and he’ll be hard to beat. Deyaarna also showed promise on debut at HQ, despite showing signs of inexperience, and is a possible danger but Tulane has more on his plate than when third at Leicester. Rashdan is related to a host of winners, including the top-class Reliable Man, and, like Construct, has a Derby entry so is worth a market check.
