Verdict
Alrehb was beaten only a neck in one of these races at Doncaster with Fresh Hope behind but HONKY TONK MAN is preferred. The latter placed at Lingfield a fortnight ago, despite having to be switched for a clear run, and looks up to scoring off his current mark on that form. Gumdrop posted his best effort so far this year when going close at Thirsk while Riot has slipped down the weights and has his second start for a new yard.
