Saturnalia looks pretty exposed having scored over track and trip after slipping down the weights. Okami is preferred having won two of his three starts in handicaps after winning at Kempton last time but CLOUD COVER makes most appeal. The latter made a winning handicap debut when successful at Wolverhampton and can defy a modest 2lb rise. Distinguished Lady went close back over 6f at Kempton and Creative Style placed over the same distance at Hamilton while No Saint won his maiden over today’s trip at the start of the year and will be sharper for a recent comeback.
