Saatty arrives in the best form having won two of his last three outings but previous efforts over 7f fail to boost confidence. LEAD STORY has won over today’s trip and was placed again when third at Chepstow last time. First-time cheekpieces may give her the edge in this. Red Evelyn has struggled in handicaps since winning a novices race and it remains to be seen if Moonlit Cloud improves now handicapping. No Day Never ran well when last here and may prove best of the rest.
