Race preview
SHANTY ALLEY was a 26-length winner over C&D in December and has improved since, scoring again at Doncaster before runner-up at Wincanton last time. Despite a further 2lb rise in the ratings, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. St Barts built on his Exeter second with an all-the-way success at Newbury and he must enter calculations, while Sandown scorer Eclair Surf adds further spice to a cracking race.
