Don Rafael is in form and still looks on a fair mark up 3lb for winning at Hereford, but this is more competitive than he's been used to and he definitely needs more. Let's instead go with ALENTEJO, who ran a much-improved race on his second run since arriving from France when runner-up at Newbury last time and promises to be even more effective on this less testing surface. The rock-solid Woodland Park ran right up to his best when tried over 3m last time and should have more to offer as a stayer, so he rates the danger, although a more waiting ride on Hawthorn Street can see him improve and he's still lightly raced enough to think he can rate a good bit higher yet.	1-2-3 Selections Alentejo (9) Woodland Park (2) Hawthorn Street (13)	null	Alentejo	Woodland Park	Hawthorn Street	null	null	Society Soldier	b	m	Soldier of Fortune	Salou Blues	Moscow Society	6	68.95	109	i	D R Fox	null	L Russell & M Scudamore	Improved to get off the mark when winning a novice hurdle here by 6 1/2l last time; effective 2m-2m4f on soft and good to soft; more to come now handicapping up in trip.	118	null	null	null	1	14	93.33	null
