PAYMENT PLAN is at the top of his game and would have gone closer to landing the hat-trick with a clear run over C&D last time. This doesn't look strong and he's fancied to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Typewritten, who shaped well from an unpromising position at Newcastle 8 days ago. Alex The Great isn't without hope.
