Verdict

This may be a little more competitive than the first division, but only just. Saddlers Mot was second over course and distance off today's mark in June and beat I'll Be Frank when winning a seller at Wetherby in April. She has every chance while Stormion reappears on a winning mark and has won over track and trip in the past along with Almutaham. FLYING DOCTOR also knows where the winning post is here and finished well ahead of Almutaham when second at Cartmel in August. We'll give him a chance to make amends for a couple of modest efforts since.
