SAHARIA makes most appeal as he bids for a hat-trick. He won a seller at Wolverhampton last time and had earlier beaten the re-opposing Prime Exhibit who has since gone on to land a double - the former can confirm superiority on the same terms. Gaelic Silver looks a threat dropped in class and trip but the remainder may struggle on today's terms including recent course and distance winner Greek Islands.
