        Verdict

        King Alfie has plenty of experience and can make it tell over Park Lane Princess, Sapienza and Jamie's Princess. Kevin Ryan's two-year-olds have been a force to be reckoned with all season, and it is amazing that he has not yet found a winning opportunity for King Alfie. The son of Foxhound has been campaigned only at six furlongs to date, and seems to have improved a bit since being fitted with blinkers. That said, he has been beaten is selling company before now, so is not one of the stable's best by a long chalk, but this does not look a great contest, and we are going to give him one more chance. Park Lane Princess stayed on to take third on her Folkestone bow and can be expected to figure prominently, while the newcomers Sapienza and Jamie's Princess would not have to be anything special in this line-up. Michael Bell had a juvenile winner on Monday, and so Tay Bridge should be noted. He should appreciate the faster ground than at Haydock and has in-form Hayley Turner in the saddle. For the winner we return to King Alfie.
