Chaparral big danger, says Oxx

SHORT-PRICED favourite Alamshar is in fine form according to trainer John Oxx, but he is a little worried about dropping back to 10 furlongs from a mile and a half.

“It is a drop down for him and we’re going to have to see how he copes,” he said.

“He was pretty good at a mile and a quarter earlier in the year but obviously he’s come on since then, so it’s hard to base any precdiction on his early-season form.
