Verdict

David O'Meara's pair He's No Saint and Steel Train both drop down a grade for this but so does Saturday's Ripon second Abushamah, who should figure if this doesn't come too soon. Company Asset should find a race before the end of the campaign but Hulcolt has struggled off this mark since scoring at Beverley in May. With the going still in his favour, ALNASHAMA is worth following in his current mood. He's just done enough to win his last two and can grab another victory before the assessor hauls him back.
