Sian's second to Sheilas Wish, who runs in the previous race, was comfortably her best run to date and she won't need to improve much to take a hand. Jigalo has won six times in a long career but never on Turf on the Flat though he came close behind Gothen Niece at Cork a month ago. Silas Mariner needs further and General Bunching has shown his best form on Polytrack so it's ALL ABOUT ALFIE who is handed the vote. He comfortably beat Sheilas Wish at Cork before a disappointing run when fancied at Tipperary five days later. That could have come too soon so he can return to winning ways after a nice break.
