MUKER (1) is racing well, scoring two back at Thirsk before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1000m at Thirsk. Well placed and worth another chance. IMPERIAL GUARD (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1200m at Newmarket (Rowley), beaten 2.5 lengths. Has the class to figure prominently. ALLIGATOR ALLEY (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he got a long way back over 1000m at Thirsk, beaten 4 lengths into sixth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SANAT (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when sixth over 1000m at Newmarket (Rowley), beaten 3 lengths. In the mix.
