Anyhow appreciated the drop in grade to land a similar event over this trip at York last time when Sawwah and Top Dirham were both well behind and is the TEAMtalk selection to confirm the form. Sawwah is worse off at the weights today and has clearly had his problems over the last two seasons although the rain-softened conditions will be in his favour as he showed when an easy nine-lengths maiden winner in 2000. Exeat is lowered in class and has claims on these terms but recent selling winner persuade will find this tougher and Welsh Wind remains out of form.
