SULAMANI THE LATE has been easy to back in all of his races so far but that probably won’t be the case today after an improved second at Sedgefield. A 5lb higher mark is a bit of a worry but this won’t take much winning. Calculated Risk is only a plater nowadays and Istimraar isn’t much better. Desertmore Hill and On Alberts Head both have an absence to overcome and so does Bambi Du Noyer. Kayf Charmer may need to drop a few pounds before getting back to winning ways.
