A typical Ebor meeting handicap with many chances but ALFARRIS has been expertly plotted through the handicap ranks by William Haggas and may prove good enough to defy a new career-high mark of 101. He'll be well suited by ground and trip and could well be seen in Listed and/or Group company this term. Communique found life tougher on his first start in Group company but was far from disgraced when fourth in the Rose Of Lancaster and the best of his excellent handicap form puts him in here with a leading chance under the champion jockey. Richard Fahey fires three darts at the board and all have chances with Society Red suggested as best of the trio at a very workable each-way price. Pivoine, Kings Gift and Aasheq could all get involved in a wide-open affair.
