Verdict

Saborido appears to need further than this and the unexposed Beauchamp Xiara is feared more but CARR HALL has an obvious chance to supplement Chepstow gains. Tony Carroll has enjoyed an excellent few months under both codes and the handler looks set to enjoy more success with Carr Hall who has won two of his four starts since joining this handler. He's due to race from an 8lb higher mark in the future so, in theory, has a couple of pounds in hand here and looks worth following. Saborido developed into a consistent performer last term but only really came into his own over staying trips so looks opposable on his return and of more interest may be the unexposed pair of Beauchamp Xiara and Illuminative and support for either runner would be of interest. Oxford City finished a long way in front of Illuminative at Windsor and has live claims of getting involved on that form but ready preference is for Carr Hall.
