Terrific race. ALANKAR (4) has had two starts for two effortless wins so far. Course and distance winner last time as a hot favourite. Has big upside and can make it a winning hat-trick. ARBANNE (6) was narrowly beaten on debut then unbeaten in two runs since. Will have come on since the break and trip suits fresh. Looks a definite danger. STAR ANISE (9) won maiden in a demolition then dug deep and just missed latest. First try at the trip but can go on to better things this campaign. MARGOT LOVE ME (7) has scored two very good wins from two tries. This is much stiffer test but leading rider goes on and drawn better. Should be right in the finish. GARAVOGUE (5) fought on bravely to score maiden win last run before a spell. Far tougher here but honest and will push forward.
