Race preview
Stepping up to 7f may be just what the doctor ordered for JORGE ALVARES, who has been slightly outpaced on both career outings so far over 6f before rallying late in the piece. The form of the Kevin Ryan stable is another plus and he can see off the likes of promising Doncaster third Sir Paul Ramsey, as well as Olympus Point, a costly Godolphin-owned newcomer who is closely related to multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point. A penalty will make things a lot tougher for Cavallo Bay following a comfortable victory at Wolverhampton.
