LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): E J-Houghton (22 wins from 151 runners, 15%) runs GREASED LIGHTNING TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): C Johnston (17 wins from 95 runners, 18%) runs ALPINA EXPRESS LONGEST TRAVELLER: ALPINA EXPRESS trained by C Johnston, Middleham, 238 miles.

Ready preference is for the filly ALPINA EXPRESS, who made it 2-2 in handicaps/on turf when scoring with plenty left in the tank at Carlisle last week. It’s no surprise that connections are keen to get another run into her before being reassessed and she is hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Hurtle’s reappearance effort over this C&D was encouraging and he edges the vote ahead of Greased Lightning for forecast purposes
