Given the dearth of in-form candidates on show, ALEX THE GREAT looks the safest option. He scored in good style at Kempton on his penultimate start and lost little caste in defeat when third in a higher-grade handicap at the same course next time, leaving the impression that this stiffer track would be right up his street. Unification and Star of Markinch can fill the places.
