This looks tricky but Sarabi has been knocking on the door lately, though could have done without a 3lb weight rise. Fruit Salad finished ahead of FUTOON, Savannah Beau and Crombay in Gulshan's race at Haydock last month but Kevin Ryan's course and distance winner is now 5lb better off with the runner-up and entitled to turn the tables. Evangelical's only win has come over this trip and she's a danger but Saved My Bacon has done most of her racing on the all-weather.
