Fushicho makes no appeal on breeding but Alkadi's dam won on the all-weather before going on to better things and Mark Johnston's filly may well be good enough on her racecourse debut. Gold Falcon failed to improve on his debut effort when fifth at Kempton in December so a chance is taken that SUGAR PRINCE will have come on for his introduction over 6f here and he gets the nod with today's extra furlong likely to suit. The Quarterjack has shown nothing so far and is readily dismissed.
