SABRE LIGHT is the call with Nawamees and Rapid City likely to represent the most likely dangers. The selection comes here off the back of two wins in similar grade and with the most impressive of the pair obtaining at this track, he sets a stiff standard. Nawamees is now with David Evans. He probably finds this trip a bare minimum these days and has it to do to reverse form from today's post position. Rapid City was fourth in that race but would have finished closer if granted a clear run. Gasat ran lamentably on his latest start and the ex-Italian horse makes a debut for new connections. Zero Cool represents a yard that have been firing in the winners over the last week and ten furlongs very much appears to be his trip. Bye Baby Bunting ran well over a mile at Kempton but this will be a step in to the unknown. Bombardier Wells did not look to get home at Kempton last time out so it's surprising that Eve Johnson Houghton tries her luck here. Sabre Light can beat the usual suspects again.
