Verdict
Alfraamsey finished behind Titan Diamond at Lingfield last month but got off the mark on the all-weather over a shorter trip at Wolverhampton next time. He was engaged at that track yesterday, however, so it remains to be seen if he faces the starter here. Lennoxwood ran a little better last time and is preferred to the thoroughly exposed Not So Bright but we prefer to concentrate on the other end of the handicap. Avalon Bay was placed on a couple of occasions over 6f here last year and is one for the short-list but preference is for DANCEYOURSELFDIZZY, who races off a lower mark than when a close-up fourth at Windsor last October and takes a significant drop in grade here.
