ALPINE STORM finished second to Euro Charline, who has won again since, over 7f here in November. The Godolphin filly looks to have leading claims in this ahead of Gold Approach. The latter disappointed when sent off favourite in soft ground last time but had shown promise on her debut at Newmarket earlier. Weekend Getaway also let supporters down last time after placing at Yarmouth before that. Alphabetique may prove best of the remainder.
