Two Taffs ended last season on an upward curve, but returns to action against rivals who will all be race-fit, so he'll need to bring his 'A game' to the table today. ALCALA had a nasty experience when serving it up to Finian's Oscar at Chepstow a fortnight ago, and whilst it's a slight concern as to how he'll react to that unfortunate incident, his claims are otherwise compelling. He has proved versatile in terms of ground and trip over the summer with a clear career highlight being his Market Rasen Summer Plate success in late July, and his trainer has found him a good opportunity in this grade, in a race in which he concedes weight to just two of his rivals despite all of those previous fencing successes.
