Alba Del Sole won over track and trip last month and is preferred to Little Palaver, unpenalised for winning an apprentices’ race at Bath. Faithful Promise won a lower grade sprint at Yarmouth last time but a speculative vote goes the way of SWEET AND DANDY off her current mark as she was beaten only a neck over course and distance on her latest start. Big Brave Bob and Mont Kiara are not out of this either and Oneovdem could go well on his handicap debut.
