Salviati showed signs of an imminent return to the winner's enclosure at Windsor, and is taken to score at the expense of Inch By Inch, Intriguing Glimpse and Playtime Blue. Milton Bradley keeps churning out the sprint winners year after year and has the knack of bringing them back to the boil at the right time. Salviati is a real summer horse, all his victories having come between June and August, and his biggest success to date was a valuable handicap at Ascot two years ago. He is not the force that he once was but is starting to look well-handicapped again now, and on the evidence of his latest effort at Windsor 12 days ago, he is poised to strike winning form again. Slowly away, he came racing through to make Savile's Delight pull out all the stops, and this first ever drop to class 5 company should make him hard to beat. Inch By Inch was a prolific scorer last year but has not been seen since November so will improve for the run, while Intriguing Glimpse stayed on well at Doncaster last time but might need another furlong. Playtime Blue so nearly made all when caught on the line by Enjoy The Buzz at Folkestone, but the latter is trained by Milton Bradley so the veteran trainer will have a line to the form, and will be confident of collecting here with Salviati who can defy topweight.
