A fascinating contest with hardly any of the field easy to write off. There was plenty to like about the victory of ALFA MIX last time out over course and distance and although he has been raised in the weights, it would be no surprise to see him improving enough to win again. The Bosses Oscar has done little wrong on all his racecourse appearances and this last time out winner could be very progressive and may be able to run well here off his current mark. Kilfenora will need another career-best effort to land this but he is in smashing heart at present and a big run under topweight is expected.
