Sharaarah's win on the Fibresand at Southwell last month was much better form than she's shown elsewhere and she was a big disappointment at Leicester recently. Funding Deficit won a maiden at Beverley last time and Satsuma's earlier efforts at Chester and Thirsk look superior form. Rangooned has been well beaten since scoring over track and trip in April so it could pay to stick with the progressive LEXINGTON PLACE. He recorded a hat-trick when successful at Hamilton last Saturday and a penalty may not be enough to prevent David O'Meara's charge from going in again.
