Alberobello showed some promise on his racecourse debut at Fontwell while Market Option stayed on well when third in a Gowran bumper in June when trained by Audra Busteed but it will be a surprise if this doesn't chiefly concern winning pointers Vintage Kid and HIGHLAND RETREAT. The former won at Tralee in March but has his first run for Tim Vaughan today and we just prefer the latter, who didn't run very well when last seen in May but represents a trainer here who has already shown he can get them ready at home.
