Verdict
Four Winds arrives with a couple of successes in claimers under his belt but this is tougher and ALAKHAN is preferred. The latter also won a plating race on his latest start but overcame unfavourable terms to beat a couple of higher rated horses at Redcar and can follow up. Berlusca was an easy winner at Musselburgh last month but was raised 10lb for that. He struggled at York last time where Stevie Thunder finished even further behind, which leaves Lean On Pete and Officer In Command looking best of the rest.
