Solo Saxophone won twice at Worcester in the summer but only beat a total of five rivals. The Navigator has won over hurdles and on the Flat this year and was only beaten half-a-length last time at Sedgefield. New stablemate Dallas Des Pictons won at Cork last month when trained by Gordon Elliott but this should be run at a good pace and that will suit KAIZER, who stays further and goes well here. Latino Fling is on a roll but upped in class again while Caius Marcius has gone up 3lb for winning narrowly over 3m at Perth.
