Verdict
ALAGHIRAAR went close in a similar event over C&D at this time last year but is 12lb lower on this occasion and today's amateur takes another 5lb off his back. He gets the nod ahead of top weight Beneath and Dianne Sayer's two runners, Talk Of Saafend and Cool Baranca, with the latter looking potentially well-handicapped back on the Flat having recorded a hat-trick over hurdles last month. So Is She is usually thereabouts while the veterans Mustajed and William's Way have both won several times under today's riders.
