SAGARICH is our token pick in the nightcap with Carey's Road and Olivino worthy of respect. The former Charlie Swan inmate won a novice contest on debut for new connections and having ran to a fair if not particularly high level on the flat, he should be fit enough to do himself justice in this handicap. Carey's Road did not show too much in three bumpers in Ireland. The market is watched on a first run for the Jonjo O'Neill stable. Olivino gets on particularly well with his amateur rider though has gone up the weights plenty for a successful summer campaign. Arniecoco was the subject of a massive gamble at Worcester. He failed to deliver the goods on that day and is in first time blinkers on this occasion. Laconicos appears to reserve his best for here although that does not say a great deal. Pistol At Dawn was well held when departing two out on her seasonal reappearance. Sagarich can strike in a race that is of very limited betting appeal.
