Shabak Hom has shown enough in three starts this season to suggest he'll be winning off his current mark before long, but Recalcitrant still looks a shade high in the weights. Sally Friday has scope for improvement stepping up in trip, but Inef and Gallant Eagle have a bit to find on latest running with SOHCAHTOA. The latter was only beaten three lengths in better company at Sandown last time and is fancied to put an end to a long losing run in this lower grade.
