Formscan  - ALPINA EXPRESS arrives here seeking a four-timer and this looks like a nice opportunity to continue that winning sequence. Charlie Johnston's filly was a facile winner over an extended 1m3f at Windsor most recently and a 10lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to halt her progression. Sunset Point appears the biggest danger after a decent second over 1m4f at Goodwood in May, while Dubai Crystal heads the remainder.
