Verdict
An amateur riders' event to close the card. Christian Williams was seen to good effect on Devon View on Saturday and he can enjoy another good ride, even off topweight, on Hasard Saisi. Orient Express is only five and, therefore, entitled to still be improving and showed he handled the course and distance when second here on his latest start. Yakareem, a winner from a mark of 84 over three miles on good to firm at Ludlow, is now just two pounds higher but steps back in trip, although he won over two miles over hurdles. Ilewin Janine, a course winner, won off a mark of 75 at Folkestone last season so should run well after a pipe-opener for the year. How Ran On is looking for a third straight win and his mark for this race, effectively 76, does not look excessive. Tullons Lane and Smart Guy are well out of the handicap. Despite being three pounds out of the handicap, How Ran On is the TEAMtalk selection to complete his three-timer.
