Verdict
SAFWAAN won at Wolverhampton before finding Precision Strike, who runs in the previous race, too good over course and distance last time. He could well return to winning ways in this similar company. Dolly Colman finished just ahead of Daniel Thomas at this track on her latest start but the latter has disappointed since and Barachiel looks a safer bet after another placed effort here last month. Gunner Will went close in maiden company at Wolverhampton recently but is far from reliable and Silkee Supreme may do better back over this shorter trip.
