Verdict

Savalas tackles this longer trip for the first time at the age of eight and after 54 career starts but goes well here. Revolutionary Man has won off higher marks on the all-weather but is 0-12 on Turf and another who isn’t getting any younger. DULCET SPIRIT has been dropped a pound since placing on Turf at Lingfield and at Epsom and can score for the first time on this surface as Flagman has gone backwards since winning at Kempton in May. Sapphire's Moon was only beaten a head over track and trip eight days ago but a record of 1-30 is off-putting.
