All-Weather Sprint Championship Tip: Alben Star

All-Weather Sprint Championship Tip: Alben Star

Finished first and second in the last two renewals of the race and finally gets a good draw.

I’ve not managed to catch Alben Star right this winter but he won this race in 2014 and finished runner-up in 2015, so this could be his day.

In fairness to the 8-year-old he’s not had much go his way. Last time out he raced wide from stall 9 over a 5f trip that is probably on the sharp side for him nowadays.


On his penultimate start he again had a wide draw and this time the steady pace meant the leaders never came back to him. To his credit he managed to clock the fifth fastest sectional in the race, which indicates ability is still there.

Alben Star finally has a good draw in stall five and with plenty of pace in the line-up, he should get a strong gallop to aim at. Given his record in the Sprint Championship he have to snap up the 10/1 (William Hill).
