Little went right for ALBA DE SOLE (NAP) here two weeks ago but she still got to within half-a-length of winner Cale Lane and looks back to the form she showed at the end of last year - a first victory is on the cards, despite a 3lb rise. Pursuing Steed rattled up a four-timer last year and is now on a lower mark than for the last two of those victories. He’s not really fired so far this season but it’s not too late for him to bounce back. Musharrif rarely runs beyond 5f nowadays but is a winner over this trip so can’t be ignored but Ghost is proving hard to place on Turf. Abushamah is tried in blinkers but is better over a mile.
