ALJARI is in the middle of a resurgence and did well to get up having met trouble at Windsor last month, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick for all that this looks a reasonable event for the grade. Riot has been in good order and should be on the premises again, while Wyvern deserves respect having found only one too good over C&D last time.
