    Verdict

    Saraba is one to keep a close eye on but Omme Antique has obvious claims and can get the better of Misbehaviour. The selection showed improved form on his handicap bow at Warwick where only a sloppy jump at the final flight prevented him from recording a maiden success. The handicapper has reacted accordingly by dishing out a 7lb rise but it would be surprising if he isn't capable of a good deal better yet. Misbehaviour has the edge on experience and is weighted to win again but this could be a shade too competitive. Khazar has yet to convince and has plenty to find with Bay Hawk on their latest running whilst the Powell runner is still a maiden after 10 starts and it's hard to see where the requisite improvement will come from. There could be more to come from Funny Fellow whilst Saraba could be a live danger if able to run to the level of form that she showed in four starts in 2005/6. The percentage call though is to side with Omme Antique.
