DARK GENTLEMAN is the form pick with both Admiral Savannah and Sisterhood worth noting. The selection has been knocking on the door this season without getting his head in front. He was not beaten far when catching the eye in second place at Sedgefield last month behind Londale. The latter named runs in the race previous to this so it maybe worth taking a look at that form before making a decision. That said he is still only lightly raced and he is still open to further improvement. Admiral Savannah landed a handicap at Wetherby last month before running well in defeat off a six pound higher mark last time out. He seems to be in good spirits of late so he is worth monitoring in the betting market. Sisterhood is another worthy of respect after two solid hurdle runs this season. She is still improving and with the trainer in such great form she ought to be in the shake up once again. However for the winner we return to Dark Gentleman.
