ALERTA ROJA made giant strides in 2021, winning three times and also finishing runner-up to Stradivarius in the Doncaster Cup, and she is fancied to return in style. Sir Mark Prescott’s filly will need to be on her mettle though to fend off Ascot Stakes victor Coltrane, while Calling The Wind, Euchen Glen and Not So Sleepy all have the form to play a part too in a fascinating Listed event.
