Alzerra has done nothing wrong in better races than this on her last two starts in the Cherry Hinton and Princess Margaret and Mick Channon's filly is taken to resume winning ways at the main expense of Siren's Gift and Danetime Music. The last mentioned held on well when making a winning debut at Nottingham last month and is entitled to improve for the run. She makes more appeal than Ralph Beckett's Windsor winner Fabuleux Millie and Karl Burke's Vale of Belvoir, who takes a big step up in class having won nurseries on her last two starts. Brian Meehan's Abby Road is improving with racing, although a bigger threat may come from Molecomb fourth Siren's Gift. Alzerra has an obvious chance on form though and she gets the vote.
