In depth

Verdict

We think the winner will come from a shortlist of three; Oh So Saucy, Sion Hill, and Cap St Jean, with preference given to Sion Hill. John Harris¿s gelding is more than capable of completing a hat-trick following recent victories at Wolverhampton and Southwell. He made all in those races and will try to do so again, from a favourable draw of stall 4. The yard's in good form as well. Plenty of today¿s rivals have also experienced the winner¿s enclosure, including Oh So Saucy and Cap St Jean. Oh So Saucy¿s also on a three timer and will want something else to make the running, before a late charge. The draw could work against Cap St Jean who¿ll also be expected to do most of his work late on, but by then it could be too late, with the selection Sion Hill already home.
