Verdict

AL ALFA represents a stable in decent form at present and can take this handicap chase on his first outing since May last year. The selection was successful off a 5lb lower mark when last seen in action and has won off a break in the past. Orbasa has failed to win since scoring on his first outing for this stable nearly 14 months ago and can take second while Abidjan can take third for a trainer with a 27% strike-rate recently.
