      Verdict

      Alsvinder has done all his winning so far over the minimum distance and found Merhoob too good over track and trip at the end of last month with Zac Brown further behind. John Ryan’s charge should go well again but a chance is taken on REFLEKTOR. The latter will be sharper for a comeback run at Wolverhampton behind runner-up Desert Doctor and is only 2lb higher than when landing last year’s renewal. Gorgeous Noora won off a 6lb lower mark for Luca Cumani last year and debuts for new connections today.
