This looks a good opportunity for ALBA GU BRATH (1). The Charlie Johnston-trained Study Of Man colt has filled the runner-up spot on both starts to date including over course and distance on debut. A repeat of his first time out effort ought to see him get off the mark here. VIKING GLORY (3) looks to be the biggest danger with the first-time tongue-tie applied. He was a good second over 7f at this venue two starts ago and should bounce back from a recent lesser effort now up in trip. Similar comments also apply to FIVE CAY (2) who moves up to 1m having disappointed over 5f last time. RED HOUSE (4) makes little appeal.
