In depth
Verdict
Alpha Capture edges this at the weights but is fitted with a tongue-tie today having finished behind second-placed SHOULDVEBEENARING in a conditions' race at Newcastle in October. The latter is a Listed winner and the Hannon colt gets the vote to confirm running in this. Glorious Angel has the more recent form having landed a hat-trick in handicaps though looks vulnerable if allowed to set the pace.
