ALFIERI caught the eye when a staying-on second in an amateurs' maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time and he's open to a good deal of improvement upped in trip/back in a handicap, so gets the nod ahead of the in-form Lily Light Foot, while Bearwithmenow warrants consideration having opened his account for his new yard last time.
