A modest staying handicap can go to Sariba but watch for market moves for both Donald and Noble Calling. Running through the field. Henry Island wins in his turn but looks vulnerable from his current mark. Treasure Trail has a chance on the best of his 2002 form, but recent efforts - despite winning over hurdles - have been indifferent. Polish winner Donald, from the Mark Pitman stable and with Richard Hughes booked, is one to watch out for in the betting on his British debut, while Noble Calling comes here in good heart following a win over hurdles, and is racing from a mark we know he can win from. North Point is also very well handicapped based on his 2002 Flat form so the market should be watched with interest with regard to his chances. Delta Force was a fair third at Brighton last time from today's mark but has yet to win on grass. Sashay won well here over a shorter trip last time and has place claims again, while Sariba is a course and distance winner from a three-pound higher mark but Hayley Turner takes a very useful five pounds off her back. For us, that just about swings things in her favour, and she gets the vote.
