SAGUNT is given the vote to follow up on his recent Warwick victory ahead of Lady Jinks and Generous Lad. The selection is now five pound higher since is latest success. That was his first run back on the turf since the autumn and he clearly responds better on the turf than the all weather. He has conditions once again in his favour and if recapturing his best he will take all the beating. Lady Jinks caught the eye when finishing second at Bath last time out. She runs off the same mark this time around and can once again be in the shake up so is respected. Generous Lad has been running well in defeat of late but has not won for two seasons now so should be treated with caution. Sagunt is the form horse and is the preference pick.
