Race preview
Peter Bowen has his string in excellent form, currently at a 38 percent strike rate (6-16), and ALFA DAWN makes plenty of appeal to continue the excellent run for the stable. She contested a trio of juvenile hurdles in the autumn of 2019 but she is with a handler who is more than capable of producing one off a long absence. Mr Shady has displayed ability over hurdles and is likely to enter the reckoning, while recent Newton Abbot scorer State Crown is respected off a 3lb higher mark.
