SALDIER won twice on the Flat in France and his latest runs in the spring were in pattern race company. He'll enjoy the ground conditions and looks to have been found a good opportunity to make a successful start for new connections. Pete So High won three times on the level for Richard Hannon and has shown enough in his two starts over timber to suggest he'll be winning soon. His trainer also runs Park Paddocks, a son of Sea The Stars who wasn't beaten far at Brighton for William Haggas though has never raced on this sort of ground. Randalls Ur Poet has been placed in five of six starts over timber including at Grade 3 level where he had Khudra behind. He won't mind the going and it will be a surprise if he's not in contention.
