BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA did remarkably well to win following a troubled passage last time and he may be able to follow up that victory from a 4 lb higher mark. Out-and-out stayer Machismo could be a big threat if this is a truly-run race, while The Story So Far isn't ruled out having shaped better than the bare result at Naas.
