An interesting three year old handicap and Mega Watt gets our vote after an encouraging seasonal debut. His first start this season was his third maiden outing at Folkestone where he stayed on quite stoutly however was possibly flattered to get so close to the eased up winner. The additional furlong should suit and he makes most appeal. Sahaadi and Rich Kid are the main dangers. Four maiden outings for Sahaadi last season yielded a victory. That victory was achieved on his final start in what appeared a weak Brighton maiden, where he dictated things from the front. Hailing from the Hannon yard he deserves respect. Rich Kid is consistent but may be vulnerable against a lesser exposed sort like the previously two mentioned. Of the remainder a market check is advised where Top Vision is concerned on her handicap debut as she showed some form on her first two outings before disappointing on her final start at Doncaster. Mega Watt could be well handicapped and gets our vote.
