PREVIEW
This preview is for members only...
KING ALEX gained his first success in just over a year when he got the better of leading mare Between Waters at Castlelands last month and the reliable 11-year-old could add to his tally in this. He has the race fitness edge over a new rival in Bugs Moran. He has changed stables since finishing mid-pack over hurdles at Cheltenham, but has a lengthy absence to overcome for his start over fences. Born By The Sea and Carrig Wells are others to note.
