Saharia rattled up four wins in plating company on the Polytrack earlier in the year and Officer In Command won a seller at Wolverhampton a week ago. Munsarim usually saves his best for claiming races while Apache Glory remains 8lb higher than when last victorious at Beverley back in April. Gaelic Silver has decent claims raised 3lb for a recent win over track and trip, but SWEHAN is less exposed and can go in again having won his maiden over course and distance last month.
