Verdict
ALWALAA was well behind Twizzell when third at Beverley on her debut but that form looks better in hindsight given the latter has since gone close in Listed company. Mark Johnston’s filly may improve enough to land this. Reign On also needs to show improvement having finished six lengths behind the winner on his recent debut though he is still preferred to Iftitah. Broadhaven Honey may prove best of the newcomers.
