Verdict

Welease Bwian had Secret Asset back in third when scoring over track and trip while Bosham beat Saved My Bacon here a week ago but the latter re-opposes on much better terms. Saint Pois tries his luck over the minimum trip for the first time having finished runner-up over 6f here on his penultimate start but DESERT STRIKE (NAP) is preferred. The latter suggested a return to winning ways was imminent after going very close at Kempton last time and Conor Dore's admirable veteran looks to have every chance of entering the winners' enclosure for the 25th time today.
