      Verdict

      SABBATHICAL doesn't win often and his best form is on ground with plenty of give. It was soft ground when he reappeared with a fine effort at Ffos Las so any further rain would see him very difficult to beat. The Some Dance Kid is better on quicker ground but has had wind surgery since a moderate run at Bangor so could just need this despite his yard being in outstanding form. Little Light has dropped massively in the ratings since his last success but gets no closer while dual hurdles winner Dream Du Grand Val pulled up on his only start over fences.
