Alflaila should be ready to rock
The market deems top-class miler Inspiral as the likeliest to turn over Auguste Rodin, but she still needs to prove her stamina over a testing 1m 2f, and the value may lie with ALFLAILA instead.
Owen Burrows’s runners at Ascot are always worth a second look as he is showing a level-stakes profit of +£25.46 at the track over the past five years. While Alflaila is the only runner without a start this year to his name, that should not put punters off.
He won on his debut at two, seasonal return at three (off a 209-day break) and beat My Prospero after a 294-day absence at four. Alflaila could have contested the Wolferton Stakes on Tuesday. That is an easier race and the fact he runs here looks a positive omen regarding his claims.
On his only previous outing in Group 1 company, he stayed on for a fast-finishing fifth in the Irish Champion Stakes after missing the kick.
There should be more to come from him if he can break on level terms and this is hardly a vintage Group 1, with high-profile pair Passenger and White Birch missing out.
Selection: Alflaila @ 9/1 with BetVictor
Horizon Dore the French No 1
While yet to strike at the highest level, HORIZON DORE has been knocking on the door and could well build on an encouraging third here in the Champion Stakes on soft ground last October. He heads a packed French challenge also featuring Blue Rose Cen, Snobbish and Zarakem.
The four-year-old’s sire Dabirsim loved fast going and Horizon Dore looks the type to benefit from a quicker surface.
He seldom gets the opportunity to strut his stuff on that terrain in France and the turn of foot he possesses can be put to good use in the Prince of Wales’s. Expect him to arrive late on the scene under Mickael Barzalona, having almost successfully deployed those tactics when a close second in the Prix d’Ispahan last time.
Selection: Horizon Dore @ 7/1 with BetVictor
