Sahf London gets the narrow here ahead of Oasis Sun and Hill of Almhuim. The selection won well here last time when he got the better of Compton Express. He is still open to plenty of improvement and he is taken to score. Oasis Sun was a fair third behind the decent Zam Zammah last time out and he will meet nothing of that class today so he should be capable of again making the frame. Hill of Almhuim finished third behind Over To You Bert last time but this step-up in trip is not sure to suit and for that reason we will take him on today. Danelor would have claims on the pick of his form but he was very disappointing last time and he can't be backed with any confidence at present. We are therefore happy to return to Sahf London who looks progressive and should be too strong for his rivals today.
